💡 Today’s Insight 💡

🗞 TL;DR - TikTok got one step closer to being banned in the U.S. today after President Biden signed the bill forcing the sale from its Chinese parent company ByteDance. It’s causing marketers nationwide to discuss the importance of TikTok in the business landscape and evaluate other options.

💡 Insight - In a study from Dash Hudson, TikTok was found to vastly outperform its competitors Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts in average video views.

TikTok and Instagram both have an advantage of being notable among accounts with large followings. Average views for large accounts (110k+ followers) were nearly 203k for TikTok and nearly 240k for Instagram Reels. YouTube Shorts, in comparison, had almost 92k views.

TikTok’s Chinese parent ByteDance has until January 19, 2025 to sell the business to a new owner or risk being banned from the U.S. entirely. Which leaves marketers and advertisers determining where the reallocated spending should go, if not to TikTok.

Instagram has a leg-up with Meta’s major positioning in the ad market. But advertisers with smaller budgets may favor YouTube for its higher engagement and ad retention with smaller, more niche audiences.
