"For years, Google and Meta have ruled the digital advertising landscape. Every click, like, and share became a data point funneled into their coffers. These companies have grown so massive that their lobbying power in Washington is virtually unparalleled. Enter TikTok, a platform that not only captured the hearts of Gen Z but also managed to divert billions of advertising dollars away from the traditional American giants. Advertisers flocked to TikTok’s unique algorithm and unmatched engagement rates, forcing Google and Meta to share a pie they’d long claimed as their own." #tiktokban #digitalmarketing #digitaladvertisement
