Despite reports of a potential ban, TikTok remains one of the leading social media platforms, so brands must develop a strategy to engage their audiences.

How can you optimize this approach to maximize ROAS and sales?

Social media strategist Adam Gausepohl affirms that creating a viral video is not a necessary component in generating sales.
