# TikTok video campaigns, with the limits B2B should know

> In-Feed video campaigns on TikTok built from your plan, with rendered videos uploaded by URL, pixel-optimised conversions and pipeline stages sent back as offline events. TikTok has no job or company targeting.

TikTok has no job title, seniority, industry or company size targeting, so it fits awareness, SMB buyers and some tech audiences better than account-based work. Demander builds video campaigns from your messages, uploads the videos it rendered, and sends CRM stages back so TikTok can optimise toward leads that become pipeline.

## Objectives Demander sets

| Plan objective | TikTok objective | Optimisation and billing |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Awareness | Reach | Reach, billed per thousand impressions |
| Traffic and retargeting | Traffic | Clicks, billed per click |
| Engagement | Traffic | Clicks; TikTok’s own engagement objective optimises for follows and profile visits, so it is not used |
| Video views | Video views | Engaged views, billed per view |
| Leads and conversions | Website conversions | A TikTok pixel event (form, registration and similar), oCPM |

Product sales campaigns need a TikTok catalogue or shop and are not built.

## How campaigns are built

Campaigns are created disabled, with campaign budget optimisation; TikTok’s minimum is about 50 USD a day. Every ad needs a video: Demander uploads the rendered MP4 and a cover image to TikTok by URL, then creates the ad under your TikTok identity. Ad text is 1 to 100 characters without emoji, and Demander strips emoji before sending.

Targeting covers countries, languages, age groups and TikTok’s numeric interest categories. City and region ids are not mapped, so office geofences fall back to country level with a warning. Realistic AI-generated content has to be disclosed on TikTok, and political ads are banned there worldwide.

## Conversions and bidding

- **Offline events from your CRM.** An account moving into sales, a new opportunity, a won deal and the conversions you mark go to TikTok every hour in live mode, with the ttclid from a consented visit or a hashed e-mail of a contact who consented. You add your CRM event set id to the connection.
- **Pixel for lead and conversion goals.** Website conversion campaigns optimise for a TikTok pixel event, so the connection needs your pixel id.
- **Bidding.** Maximum delivery is the default. Demander-managed bids set a target cost per result in CPC, CPM or oCPM, matching the billing event. TikTok advises a budget of at least 10 times the CPA bid and publishes no bid minimums.

## Access and approvals

- **What you do.** Authorise your advertiser account in TikTok’s business portal and pick it in Demander; currency and time zone are detected. You also set the identity your ads run under.
- **What TikTok requires of Demander.** TikTok reviews the developer app and the permission groups it uses: account and ads management, creative upload, reporting, audiences and offline events. Rate limits start at 10 requests a second per app and rise on request, one level at a time.

## When TikTok enters the plan

- **By product.** The planner adds TikTok for consumer and e-commerce products and for marketing and AI tools. For other B2B products it stays out unless you add it.
- **By seniority.** Platform fit is scored per persona seniority, and TikTok scores lowest of the eight platforms for founders, executives and VPs, so little budget goes there for senior buyers.
- **By results.** Budget allocation follows pipeline value across platforms, so TikTok spend that produces no opportunities loses budget to platforms that do.

> **Not available on TikTok in Demander.** Job title, seniority, industry and company size targeting do not exist on TikTok. Demander’s stage lists, customer exclusions and lookalikes do not sync to TikTok, so a retargeting step planned for TikTok runs as an ordinary stage campaign, and retargeting by list happens on LinkedIn, Meta and Google. TikTok lead forms are not built.

## Questions

**Is TikTok worth it for B2B campaigns?**

For account-based work, rarely: TikTok cannot target by job or company. It can work for video awareness, for SMB buyers and in some tech segments. You can add TikTok to any plan or remove it, whatever the planner proposed.

**Do I need to make videos for TikTok?**

No. Demander renders short MP4 storyboard videos from your messages, in your brand, and every TikTok ad uses one of them.

**Can Demander post to our TikTok profile as well?**

Yes, through TikTok’s Content Posting API, which is a separate TikTok app. Until TikTok has audited it, posts are private. See [organic networks](https://demander.to/platforms/organic-networks/).
