How Do Spark Ads on TikTok Work?

Spark Ads made collaboration with TikTok content creators and influencers more meaningful. Since Spark Ads retains all the usual video features of organic content, such as account name, caption, and audio, it also has likes, comments, and shares to be part of the ad campaign metrics, including your CTA. This gives an edge over Non-Spark Ads that behaves like regular sponsored content. Indeed, Spark Ads is an excellent way for brand discovery.
