During this live episode, Josh will discuss how the platform is unlike any other we have seen, why it is becoming essential for brand exposure for certain industries, and what it takes to be in the fast-paced, everchanging industry that fits in the palm of your hand.
*Vanessa Pappas, Interim Head of TikTok, stated in a news release on September 29, 2020 “TikTok’s popularity grew much faster than any of us could have imagined. Today, people come to this platform for entertainment, learning, and increasingly, as a place where small businesses can reach consumers and build a following. During the pandemic, like many platforms, we saw that growth increase significantly as families sought creative ways to connect with one another.”
