PopShorts Named TikTok Alpha Partner for Paid Search
PopShorts is proud to announce that we’ve been named an alpha partner for TikTok’s Paid Search functionality, giving our clients access to test TikTok’s latest ad offering. This exciting development allows brands to engage users through targeted search queries, optimizing campaigns based on real-time search intent. With keyword-based targeting and search-specific budgets, we can help you maximize visibility in a way that further aligns with user behavior on TikTok.

In June, Meta quietly increased its minimum budget for brand lift studies by fourfold, now requiring over $120,000 in paid media. If this shift impacts your campaigns, PopShorts offers an alternative solution— third-party brand lift studies for qualifying campaigns. These can deliver additional non-biased insights for a similar spend.

Paid Media Insight: Leveraging New Video Metrics for Carousel Ads

As of September 3rd, Meta has begun attributing video metrics to carousel ads featuring only static images. This means metrics like Plays, Views, ThruPlays, and Completes will now apply to these ads, offering a new layer of performance insight. PopShorts can now confidently quote views for this format of content instead of just impressions, providing more precise metrics to optimize your next campaigns.
This update will help us deliver more accurate reporting on carousel ads.
