Prior to the partnership, CreatorIQ had access to a pool of creators and topline metrics like follower accounts and engagement metrics, which helped clients find influencers. Clients could also input data manually into the dashboard for creator tracking.
TikTok’s reach and the power of it’s influencers have become clear in the last year. The short-video app has hit more than 1 billion monthly users. Popular TikTokers can have millions of followers, and brands have worked to establish relationships to tap into those audiences. But connecting with the right influencer can take time, money, and data. The integration with TikTok should make it easier for CreatorIQ clients to find the right fit and set up campaigns.
