TikTok Ads
Running TikTok Ads since 2020We started running TikTok Ads the day self-managed campaigns opened in 2020. Lower CPMs, bigger creative payoff, and a platform that rewards brands who actually show up as humans.
Ask a real question. Real specialist reviews it too.
Why use us
Early adopters, not late arrivals
We started managing TikTok Ads for South African clients in 2020, the moment self-managed campaigns launched. Five years of learnings other agencies don't have.
Cheaper attention
Fewer advertisers than Meta in most SA verticals, that usually means lower CPMs and cheaper video views. We've kept CPAs well below Meta on the right accounts.
Creative-led, not template-led
TikTok punishes ads that look like ads. In-house video editors, hooks-first scripts, native-feel content. Ads that pass as content, not that get skipped.
Spark Ads done right
We plug into your own or creator organic content and boost it as ads, better CTR, better authenticity, better cost per result.
Full-funnel targeting
Interest + behaviour + custom audiences + lookalikes + retargeting from Pixel and events. Not just 'run it broad and hope'.
Cross-platform view
As a Google Premier and Meta Business Partner too, we know exactly when TikTok is the right lever, and when it isn't. No selling you something you don't need.
