TikTok launches automotive ads: what does this mean for marketers? TikTok has announced a dedicated ad offering for automotive: Automotive Ads. We ask what this means for the platform’s broader ambitions and its role across the funnel? Though TikTok and cars may seem like an odd combination.

We spoke to two experts on the car buying journey, Jonny Atter, Director, Insights at Battenhall and Patrick Fuller, Head of Automotive Insight at Sophus3 – to get their take on what marketers need to know. |
