Spark Ads

TikTok's format for promoting an existing organic post, from the advertiser's own account or a creator's account with permission, so that engagement accrues to the original post and the ad carries the creator's handle. Spark Ads are the standard vehicle for creator content on TikTok and consistently outperform ads uploaded as standalone creative.
