Key Takeaways

Lessons from cracking the B2B TikTok code

The first 3 seconds determined 90% of our success. We tested 50+ hook formats and found that contrarian statements ("Why your marketing is failing") outperformed everything else by 300%.
Using trending sounds increased reach by 5x, but the sound had to match the content mood. Business content with party music failed, but motivational sounds drove massive engagement.
Pure entertainment got views but no conversions. Educational content that solved real problems drove app downloads. The sweet spot was 70% education, 30% entertainment.
One viral video meant nothing without consistency. Posting 3x daily built momentum that the algorithm rewarded. Our 10th video went viral because the first 9 trained the algorithm about our audience.
