TikTok can be your friend & it doesn’t have to suck. When we get beyond compromising posts, manufactured trends, & outrageous influencer costs, owning the power of TikTok for artists is real.

Artist Empowerment, In The Short-Form Video Era
Love it or hate it, TikTok is the ultimate source of social discovery and acceleration. Done right and pre-saves can spike, streams can jump, and social growth outside of TikTok can be directly correlated from discovery on TikTok. And sure, you could throw money at influencers and hope your sound goes viral, but for the 99.999% that want more of an authentic and long-term position in short-form video, you have to unpack what makes this content so sticky, understand the best practices, and have a smart and sustainable strategy that works for you and you only. After seeing how TikTok has changed the lives of so many of our clients while forecasting the importance and prioritization of TikTok-like content on YouTube and Instagram, Black Box is proud to move our modern music marketing narrative into this vertical and offer dedicated service to help artists in the often cringy space of TikTok content.
