I’ve been keeping an eye on the news, just like you probably have — the buzz around a potential TikTok ban is hard to ignore. It’s got a lot of folks wondering about the future of influencer marketing and what this might mean for our strategies and campaigns. You might’ve caught my thoughts in a recent NYMag article on this very topic.
Here at Sway Group, we’ve been connecting brands with top-notch creators for over 13 years. Remember the early days? It was all about blogs and Twitter. Platforms come and go, but what stays constant is the creativity and impact of the influencers we work with. No matter where they are and how they share their content, they keep drawing people in with their originality and authenticity. That’s the real magic of what we do.
As for what’s next? Right now, we’re all in a ‘wait and see’ phase. There’s no need for any sudden moves. It’s smart, however, to think about spreading your presence across various platforms. Whether TikTok stays or goes, your audience will still be out there, tuning into Instagram, YouTube, and other growing channels. It’s about staying flexible and ready to pivot, making sure your brand is wherever the audience goes.
Don’t worry, because we’ve got your back. No matter how the platforms shift, Sway Group is here to ensure your brand continues to engage with the best creators and craft campaigns that truly resonate. Together, we’ll keep navigating these changes, creating meaningful and impactful connections that drive action.
Here’s to continuing to adapt and thrive, no matter what comes our way. 👊
