Brands that are winning in 2024 are the ones that are going beyond traditional community engagement channels to build their own membership communities.

TikTok Shop is an e-commerce platform integrated within TikTok, allowing users to purchase products directly from videos and livestreams (as well as its own tab “Shop” tab).

UGC is one (if not) the top creative types for conversations for brands on social media.
