There have been a number of successful use cases already on TikTok despite the platform being fairly new. Some of the early adopters on TikTok include sports teams, musicians and colleges as well as specific businesses. In a lot of cases they have found that their TikTok videos create more engagement than they do on other social platforms.
The Bailey Bakery
There have been a lot of bakeries, pastry chefs and cake decorators use TikTok for their marketing with good results. This makes sense because baking and cake making is highly demonstrative. You will find a lot of videos of chefs and cake decorators doing their thing to music on TikTok. A number of chefs and bakers have amassed followings of over 100,000 on TikTok but the Bailey Bakery really stands out.

Most people have heard the “Old Town Road” song and you can thank TikTok for this in a large part. A couple of years ago Lil Nas X was unknown but he worked out how he could use the meme culture of TikTok to appeal to the “cool kids” on the platform. His Old Town Road song went viral and ended up being the longest number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 and Spotify. How did he do this? Well he posted a video of him performing the song on the TikTok platform which was quickly turned into a meme. This spread like crazy and produced over 500 million video views and resulted in over 5 million users creating videos around his hashtag #oldtownroad.
The Lomile Shop
If you own an ecommerce store then you need to read this. There are a lot of small ecommerce stores using the TikTok platform to promote their products now. They do this by creating and uploading videos that show how their products work to background music. The Lomile Shop has really done well on TikTok.

Other Success Stories
There are other success stories on TikTok too. The NBA is on the platform and they have over 5.5 million followers and their content has more than 79 million hearts. They always post varied content ranging to highlights of basketball matches to fans dancing! Most of the NBA teams have their own TikTok accounts.
A good example of this is the Chicago Bulls who actually have an account for their mascot who has the name “Benny the Bull. Benny has an Instagram account as well but he has more followers on TikTok. Benny creates collaboration videos with other mascots. One of the most popular of these videos was with the mascot from the Philadelphia Flyers who has the name Gritty.
