What are Spark Ads and how do they work?
Spark Ads is an ad format that can promote organic posts on a page. Like InFeed ads, they have a call-to-action button and a landing page. Unlike other ads, with Spark Ads all interactions (likes, shares, comments) run through the promoted post and remain even after the campaign is over. With Spark Ads, you are only redirected to the landing page when you click on the Call-To-Action or the Copy, whereas with InFeed Ads, every click on the profile icon, the Copy or the username, for example, leads to it. In terms of interaction, Spark Ads work largely like organic posts.
Regarding the properties of the VIdeo, Spark Ads have fewer restrictions than ordinary ads. The format, resolution and length of the video are technically irrelevant - of course, they should still be optimized to achieve the best results. Emojis may be used in the Copies and if desired, the Spark Ad can also be switched completely without Copy. All these properties are taken from the organic posts in Spark Ads and can only be edited directly via them - this is no longer possible during the setup of Spark Ads. The following overview shows the structure of a Spark Ad:
Tips for Spark Ads
By using organic posts, Spark Ads are a great way to promote your own TikTok page and content in addition to events/products, which significantly expands the possible uses. Through Spark Ads, one can easily move away from being purely promotional and deliver authentic as well as personal insights. It is important not to use videos that are ambiguous, too specific, or out of context, thus defeating the very goals of the campaign. The resolution, format, and length of the video should also be appropriate to the campaign.
