With 4M TikTok users in Malaysia, it is becoming a new platform option for brands and advertisers to reach out to consumers.
So what is TikTok actually? It’s an app users can download for free and follow any trendy hashtags with specified music. Some of these hashtags involve different actions such as dancing, lipsyncing and the latest called acting.
Sounds trendy, doesn’t it? It’s time for you to hop on the bandwagon because even Guardian collaborated with TikTok for their “Shop Your Way to Korea” campaign.
From our observations, Guardian is the third brand to collaborate with TikTok in Malaysia, after Shopee and McDonald’s #BigMacTikTok campaign.
You can watch Guardian’s campaign intro video below:

Anyone can join the challenge by just submitting their own dance to Guardian’s official song using the TikTok app.
With just their submission, they’re automatically in the running for Guardian’s amazing prizes. You can head over to Guardian’s microsite to look at the contest details, or continue reading for more information *wink*.
