TikTok has announced the launch of a new product called Pulse Premiere, set to debut on May 4th. The feature will allow advertisers to place their ads alongside premium content from publishers and will offer a 50% revenue share. The program's initial participants include big names such as Buzzfeed, DotDash Meredith, NBCUniversal, UFC, and WWE. This new offering is an extension of TikTok's Pulse program, which already allowed marketers to advertise their brands alongside the top 4% of content on the platform. The company has now expanded its program to offer premium content and revenue sharing for publishers.
The launch of Pulse Premiere arrives as brand ad spending decreases due to reduced consumer spending during the pandemic. TikTok's expansion to premium content creators could offer a new opportunity for brands to reach a wider audience and potentially increase their sales.
TikTok's growth in the US has been impressive, with the app's monthly active users increasing from 100 million in 2020 to 150 million in March 2021. This growth is despite concerns raised by US lawmakers about the app's data privacy and security, as TikTok is owned by China's ByteDance. TikTok has faced scrutiny from US lawmakers over potential data sharing with the Chinese government.
The introduction of the Pulse Premiere feature marks another move by TikTok to increase its advertising revenue while offering a new revenue stream for content creators. The revenue-sharing model has been welcomed by publishers, who are always on the lookout for new ways to monetize their content. However, the success of Pulse Premiere will depend on whether brands and publishers are willing to work together and whether TikTok can maintain its growth and popularity while facing regulatory challenges.
