But how do you stand out from the crowd without sounding too &#8220;advertising-y&#8221;? The answer: Spark Ads, a native advertising format based on existing organic content.

Unlike traditional ads, which require you to produce a specific video, Spark Ads allow you to sponsor an existing TikTok publication, whether from your own account or a third-party creator (with permission).<br \/>\nSpark Ads reveal their full potential when used to promote content created by influencers. Find out how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.effinity.fr\/blog\/tiktok-ads-marketing-influence-duo-gagnant-campagnes\/\">integrate influencers into your TikTok Ads campaigns<\/a> to maximize your visibility.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s an effective way for brands to capitalize on the authenticity of organic content while benefiting from TikTok Ads Manager&#8217;s powerful targeting tools. The result: engaging, credible native advertising perceived as &#8220;normal&#8221; content in the user&#8217;s feed.  <\/p>\n<h2>Why use Spark Ads?<\/h2>\n<h3>For brands: a powerful combination of performance and authenticity<\/h3>\n<p>Spark Ads offer many advantages for advertisers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Authenticity and trust: by using a previously published video, the ad retains TikTok&#8217;s natural tone. This creates continuity between organic and sponsored content, reinforcing the brand&#8217;s credibility. <\/li>\n<li>Amplified engagement: Spark Ads retain the interactions (likes, comments, shares, subscriptions) of the original video. This further boosts engagement and has a snowball effect. <\/li>\n<li>Advanced targeting: like all TikTok campaigns, you can define precise audiences based on interests, age, gender, devices or behaviors.<\/li>\n<li>Reduced costs: you don&#8217;t have to produce a new video: you use existing content. This saves you considerable time and money, especially if you&#8217;re working on an influencer strategy. <\/li>\n<li>Better conversion rate (CVR): Spark Ads often perform better than traditional formats, especially in terms of qualified clicks and conversions.<\/li>\n<li>Increased notoriety: you benefit from the notoriety and credibility of the original creator. The creator&#8217;s community remains the anchor of the video. <\/li>\n<li>Native creative formats: Spark Ads enable features such as Duo, Collage, Stickers, clickable music, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Multiple objectives: suitable for a variety of objectives: traffic, conversions, lead generation, app installations, brand awareness, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>For content creators: greater visibility and revenues<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s also a win-win situation for designers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monetization: the videos they publish can be sponsored by brands, generating income without any extra effort.<\/li>\n<li>Extended audience: a video promoted via Spark Ads can reach users far beyond the creator&#8217;s initial community.<\/li>\n<li>Simplified collaboration: thanks to the TikTok Creative Center, brand\/creator matching is fast and intuitive, making it easier to manage influencer campaigns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do I create a Spark Ads campaign on TikTok?<\/h2>\n<p>You can create a Spark Ad in two ways: by using a publication from your TikTok Enterprise account, or by sponsoring a creator&#8217;s video with their permission.<\/p>\n<h3>Option 1: Use a publication from your own account<\/h3>\n<p>Steps to follow in TikTok Ads Manager :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Log in to TikTok Ads Manager.<\/li>\n<li>Create a campaign by choosing an objective (traffic, conversions, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Activate the &#8220;Use a TikTok account to broadcast Spark Ads&#8221; option.<\/li>\n<li>In the &#8220;Announcement&#8221; step :\n<ul>\n<li>Either select a video already published on your account.<\/li>\n<li>Either import a video from your computer or create one using the built-in creative tool.
