The trifecta playbook
- 1
Listed 14 hero SKUs on TikTok Shop.
- 2
Briefed 7 CloutIQ beauty micro creators (5k to 60k followers) for unboxing + tutorial content.
- 3
Opened a fresh TikTok Ads account through CloutIQ to claim the AED 14,680 matched ad credit.
- 4
Promoted the 3 highest-engagement creator posts as Spark Ads at 4x the organic spend.
- 5
Routed every click to a TikTok Shop bundle page seeded with creator UGC reviews.
We stopped treating TikTok as a content channel and started treating it as a fulfilment funnel. CloutIQ creators + TikTok Ads is what the modern Shop runs on.
