Top Tips For TikTok Video Creation

March 4, 2024
With over 1.5 billion users, TikTok has become one of the world's leading social media platforms for creating and sharing videos.


It’s not all about funny animal videos and dance moves though! Whether you’re creating videos to boost engagement or drive lead generation, here’s a few TikTok tips to ensure engaging, high quality clips to help you achieve your goals!


Jump On Current Trends and Leverage Popular Audios

The best way to increase engagement with your TikToks is to leverage trends and trending audios. Doing this will hugely affect your visibility and the reactions your videos get. From dance routines to ‘how to’ videos, the possibilities are endless!


Start With A Hook and Grab Attention

The average TikTok user will watch around 15 videos each minute! So stand out, grab attention and immediately captivate with short, snappy videos that include a good intro to encourage your target audience to take action or stop scrolling to listen to what you have to offer.


Use Niche and Trending Hashtags

Hashtags can make you visible to the right users and encourage TikTok’s algorithm to filter your video into viewers ‘For You Page’. Whilst popular hashtags have a large audience, they’re also very competitive, so also use niche hashtags that are related to your content, as a mix is more likely to target a wider audience.

Create Vlog Style Videos

Try creating vlog style videos with voice overs to give your content a more personal feel. Simply describe a series of events or talk to the camera as if you’re telling a story! Good examples of vlog formats include ‘How to…’, ‘Day in the life’, ‘Come to work with me’, etc.


Post Regularly and At The Right Time

On TikTok, quantity matters. Posting 3 to 5 times a week is the optimal amount to help you achieve your goals and reach the right audience, driving shares, views, comments and likes. 27% of marketers say the best time to post on TikTok is between 6pm and 9pm, but keep in mind your audience could be different, so experiment! 


React and Reply To Comments With Another TikTok

With TikTok, the more comments a video gets, the more visibility it will receive. Replying to comments by making another TikTok instead of replying with text is a more interactive and personal way of responding. Addressing FAQ’s or topics of discussion in these videos will boost views and keep your audience coming back.

Lots of brands are pulling video production in house. On paper, it sounds efficient but in practice? We’re seeing a different story. Here’s what often gets overlooked. You’re Hiring Individuals - Not a Creative Team Once you factor in salaries, kit, software and overheads, most businesses end up with one or two junior to mid creatives. Talented, yes. But limited in scope. An agency gives you directors, animators, writers, cinematographers, strategists… activated only when you need them. Creativity Gets Stuck In house teams work on the same brand day in, day out. Agencies work across sectors, styles and problems and that cross pollination is where the best ideas come from. Retention Gets Hard and Expensive Strong creatives crave variety and progression. Small teams can’t always offer it, and when one person leaves, the whole system wobbles. Replacing technical talent is costly and the “savings” of in housing disappear fast. Who’s Challenging the Brief? Executing a brief is one thing. Challenging it is another. You should have someone asking, “Is this the right format?” or “What if we did it differently?”. That’s where outside perspective becomes invaluable.

When Euronics came to us with a brief, it was a good one: take a true story about an extraordinary delivery and turn it into something worth watching. The Brief Joe, a Euronics delivery agent, had been tasked with getting a chest freezer to a customer in rural Wales. The road ran out. He carried on anyway, on foot, through fields, across rivers and over hills. The customer was delighted. The story deserved to be told. Euronics asked us to produce a short comedic video retelling that journey. The challenge was finding the right visual language to match the scale of the tale. The Concept We pitched several approaches centred on a comic-book aesthetic, bold, energetic and a little tongue-in-cheek. It felt like the right fit: a story that was equal parts heroic and absurd, told in a style that leaned into both. The concept paired real interview footage of Joe with AI-generated visuals to bring his journey to life. Where a traditional shoot would have required location days across Welsh countryside, generative AI gave us the tools to illustrate the story scene by scene. Creative Wrangling We filmed Joe against a studio blue backdrop, letting him tell the story in his own words. His delivery did a lot of the heavy lifting (puns intended!), dry, matter-of-fact and quietly brilliant. The AI-generated visuals were built around detailed multi-angle reference sheets for Joe, the Euronics van and the chest freezer.
