What Is The TikTok Ads Manager?

Types Of TikTok Ads
You can get access to different types of ads using the TikTok Ad Manager. Here is a brief description of all of them:
Video Ads
TikTok Video Ads are the normal ads that you see in TikTok between posts in your feed. Therefore, these ads mostly look like normal TikTok videos. However, they have a button on them that you can click to go to the landing page of the advertiser.
Spark Ads
Spark Ads on TikTok are similar to the video ad that you see. However – there is one twist to it – it can be collaborated with. Therefore, influencers can collaborate with these ads and post them from their accounts to enhance their reach.
In addition, the collaborated versions may continue to appear in your fed avene if the advertiser has stopped paying for the ad. This is one of the best organic ways to increase the reach of an ad. TikTok proved this after publishing reports indicating that these ads have a 142% higher engagement rate compared to video ads!
Image Ads
Image Ads are the same as video ads appearing on your TikTok feed. The only difference is that these ads have pictures instead of videos. However, you will see these ads on your food if you have TikTok’s premium Global App Bundle.
Playable Ads
Playable ads on TikTok have been a game changer since these are, by far, some of the most engaging ads. Instead of having a video or an image – they have a pliable minigame instead! However, these ads are only available in a select few countries.
Shopping Ads
Starting in Spring 2023, TikTok has begun phasing out two types of ads – Collection Ads and Dynamic Showcase Ads. TikTok has done so because they are merging these two types of ads under Shopping Ads.
Currently, you can use three types of Shopping Ads using the TikTok Ads Manager. They are:
- Video Shopping Ads: These are shoppable Video Ads that appear in your “For You” feed. Clicking on the buy button of these ads lets you directly go to the online store to purchase the products.
- Catalog Listing Ads: These ads are like normal shopping ads, except they showcase product catalogs.
- Live Shopping Ads: Many times, you will see that the brands you follow are posting live videos on TikTok. These video ads are live videos with a clickable buying link of the advertised product on them.
Carousel Ads
Carousel Ads are the same as TikTok image ads. However, these ads appear on your BuzzFeed news feed and have a series of 10 images placed sequentially.
Pangle Ads
Pangle is a mobile advertising platform that has tied up with TikTok. Using the TikTok Ads Manager, you can post your TikTok ads on other platforms as well! However, you can advertise only on platforms that are a part of the TikTok Audience Network. In addition, this feature is only available in a select few countries.
