TikTok has introduced a new self-service advertising solution in Pakistan designed to support small and medium-size businesses in reaching wider audiences and growing their brands. The platform’s TikTok For Business Ads Manager allows businesses to create campaigns, manage budgets, and optimize performance through a user-friendly interface without requiring specialist experience. This move provides local entrepreneurs and homegrown brands with accessible and cost-effective tools to engage with TikTok’s highly active community.
The launch expands TikTok’s footprint in Pakistan and builds on its ongoing efforts to empower local businesses through initiatives such as the #GrowWithTikTok Masterclass. These programs have provided practical guidance, creative tools, and best practices to help businesses increase their presence on the platform. The introduction of a self-service advertising platform complements these efforts, giving businesses of all sizes the ability to tap into the creativity of the TikTok community and promote their products and services efficiently.
Recent global data highlights the effectiveness of advertising on TikTok, with 73 percent of users reporting they discovered new products they had not considered before, and 78 percent finding new brands they had not previously known. By leveraging the new Ads Manager, Pakistani businesses can join these trends, reaching consumers who increasingly use TikTok to explore products, read reviews, and follow emerging trends. The platform provides small businesses with tools to create content that resonates with audiences, enhancing visibility and engagement both locally and internationally.
Baris Aldanmaz, Head of Global Business Solutions Türkiye, Central and Southern Asia at TikTok, emphasized the creativity of Pakistan’s small business community and the platform’s role in supporting their growth. He noted that TikTok enables brands to produce meaningful content that sparks conversation and builds connections with communities. Aldanmaz added that the Ads Manager makes it easier than ever for neighborhood stores, fashion labels, and online startups to reach new audiences and tell their stories. As more businesses recognize the platform’s potential to engage broader audiences, the new advertising solution provides a seamless and efficient way to connect with the TikTok community while optimizing marketing campaigns for better outcomes.
The launch of TikTok For Business Ads Manager in Pakistan represents an important step in providing SMBs with the tools needed to compete in an increasingly digital marketplace. By combining creative storytelling with data-driven campaign management, businesses can strengthen brand awareness and reach consumers in meaningful ways. This initiative also supports the broader trend of digital marketing adoption in Pakistan, offering local businesses an opportunity to participate in online commerce and brand-building through social media channels.
