Creator Paid Ads, known as Spark Ads on TikTok and Partnership Ads (formerly Branded Content Ads) on Instagram and Facebook, are a powerful marketing tool.
Incorporating popular creators into your Paid Social activity utilizes their authentic voice to boost your brand's visibility. By collaborating with popular influencers, you can significantly increase the reach of your campaigns, leading to a higher return on investment (ROI).
