Regular posting (both during and outside of major events) is crucial, whether they're focused on sports, news, entertainment or lifestyle content. By leveraging a consistent posting cadence, you can maintain visibility, engagement and audience growth, all the while becoming a reliable source for the TikTok Community.
On TikTok, content fuels connection, celebration and engagement. Whether it’s a major event like awards nights, championship games or movie premieres, the conversations you create on the platform are crucial to your marketing success.
In order to remain relevant, it’s no longer an option to show up during just those major moments–you must also occupy the space in between.
