Campaign structure and native formats
TikTok Ads Manager follows the same hierarchy as the other platforms, campaign, ad group, ad. What changes is what you serve: a video that looks like the feed, or nothing.
- Three objective families: awareness, consideration, traffic, views and leads, conversion, website, catalogue and app, each with the event it optimises
- In-Feed and TopView: the auction ad in the For You feed, and the full-screen format at app launch for key moments
- Spark Ads: sponsoring an existing organic video, yours or a creator's with their authorisation, which keeps its views and comments
- Video Shopping Ads and catalogue: the video that shows the product from your catalogue, and the GMV Max campaign dedicated to TikTok Shop
- Smart+: TikTok's automated campaign, which steers targeting, bids and creative, opened when the signal is clean and bounded by a target cost
