Transcript
It just me or the best brands on TikTok literally just having fun? Look at Duolingo. This is an old school marketing manager's nightmare. They're breaking all the corporate rules, but it's really entertaining. Then you've got tier Washington Worst. They're just telling real life stories through comedy sketches. And then you've got Ryanair, and their bio, Catch Flights Not Feelings, literally speaks the tone of voice of their channel. So the truth is, if you're a brand trying to sell on this platform, then you might want to rethink your strategy because no one cares.
