To make the world a better place

To execute a nationwide campaign using both organic growth and display advertising across the major social media platforms, here's an overview of what's available on each platform and what it would take to hit every city across the U.S.:

1. TikTok

  • Organic Growth: Leverage trending challenges, hashtags, and short videos to engage users. Regularly post content that resonates with a broad audience, focusing on cities with high TikTok usage.

  • Display Advertising: TikTok offers ads such as:

    • In-Feed Ads: Videos that appear in the feed and can target users based on interests, demographics, and geographic location.

    • TopView Ads: Full-screen ads that appear when users open the app.

    • Branded Hashtag Challenges: Encourages users to participate in branded challenges, great for organic spread.

    • Costs: TikTok ads are relatively expensive; expect a minimum of $10 per CPM (cost per thousand impressions), with larger campaigns requiring upwards of $50,000.

  • Nationwide Strategy: You’d need a sizable budget to reach all major cities, using targeted ads for each region or state. Organically, consistently posting viral, trending content and collaborating with influencers would aid in spreading the message nationwide.

2. Facebook
