TikTok celebrates its best creators<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Around this time of year, we always see our most used social platforms giving us a rundown of what we\u2019ve searched, listened to and interacted with in minute detail. Spotify\u2019s Year in Review is always highly anticipated, mainly to see which embarrassing singalong music has crept its way into your most played list, but it seems TikTok are now jumping on the bandwagon too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than giving viewers a rundown of the accounts they\u2019ve interacted with the most, TikTok have decided to gather up a diverse selection of the \u2018best in class\u2019 of 2021 and created a selection of super handy tips for creatives and business alike to learn and extend their potential reach.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amongst the list were some of the apps most successful creators and the businesses that created partnerships with them, including @angryreactions and Pizza Hut and Kurt Schieder joining forces with Volkswagen to name just a few.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the one that caught our eye, as both the creator and the brand were brave enough to go completely against the norm when creating this campaign.<\/span> Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to get the message across. So when VW launched its ID.4 electric vehicle, the carmaker didn\u2019t turn to the usual auto influencers, or even auto-focused creators on TikTok. As mentioned by Kimberly Gardiner, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Volkswagen, stating that\u00a0 they looked at TikTok as a platform to leverage massive audiences across food, music, and science, reaching our target consumer in an unexpected way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kurt Schieder created a song from the car\u2019s chimes and other sounds, creating a 10 second ad that more than exceeded Volkswagen\u2019s expectations – using TikTok\u2019s full screen TopView ad slot that runs when the app first opens, it hit 65 million impressions in just 24 hours. As a result, VW immediately enlisted the platform for the<\/span> launch of its Taos SUV.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ferrari unveil another new Icona model<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Next up, we head to Modena, and a truly crazy looking Ferrari. The brand is set to expand its range of ultra-exclusive Icona models following the launch of its new \u00a31.68m Daytona SP3. <\/span>The V12-powered Daytona is inspired by the Ferrari sports prototypes that raced in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and follows in the wake of the Monza SP1 and SP2, which took their barchetta cues from cars such as the 750 Monza sports racer of the 1950s. At the launch of the new Daytona in Florence, Ferrari\u2019s leaders made it clear there\u2019s room for further expansion of the Icona range, with chief communications and marketing officer Enrico Galliera saying there are \u201cfour or five potential concepts we could work on\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The limited-run Icona series is designed to appeal directly to Ferrari\u2019s regular customers and adopts a novel approach, as the models are led by style and design rather than ultimate performance – they\u2019ve emphasised that this is not a supercar.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
