What's changing?
Spark Ads is TikTok's format for turning an existing organic post into an ad. The post keeps its likes, comments and the creator's name.
The creator generates an authorisation code. The brand adds it in TikTok Ads Manager. That's it.
Why it matters
People trust creators more than they trust brand accounts. Spark Ads lets you pay for reach while keeping that trust.
Any engagement from the ad also lands on the original post, so the content keeps working afterwards.
What to do
Use Spark Ads when a creator post is already performing well organically.
Agree on the authorisation period up front, usually 30, 60 or 90 days.
Test two or three creator posts against each other before scaling one.
GRANN's take
Spark Ads is not a trick. It is simply the easiest way to give good creator content the reach it deserves.
