Although Tuke has been operating for many years, for domestic advertisers, many are still in the early stages of getting to know Tuke, so there may still be many questions about collaborating with creators that have not been promptly resolved.

All the answers are in the following practical guide!

The overall strategy for creator marketing can mainly be divided into the following three steps:

Step 1: Initiation Phase

Before contacting creators, if advertisers have decided to advertise on Tuke, they should first sort out the brand's marketing information and determine the purpose of advertising, including but not limited to the following points:

Advertising objectives, brand positioning, core product selling points, target consumer profile, characteristics of creators in the target market, number of ads to be placed, advertising budget, etc.

Once the purpose is determined, advertisers can decide on the number of ads and the selection of creators.

Number of ads: Advertisers can cooperate with the same creator for 1-2 short videos, which can maximize the reach to the fan base and help advertisers save on advertising costs.

Creator selection: Advertisers can choose creators based on advertising objectives. If the goal is brand promotion and increasing exposure, you can choose influential top Tuke creators; if the goal is to increase sales conversion, it is recommended to select highly vertical mid-tier Tuke creators for more precise coverage of the target consumer group.

Step 2: Planning Phase

Before Tuke creators produce short videos in collaboration, advertisers should make sure they understand the advertising requirements, mainly including:

Collaboration purpose, marketing objectives, video creation reference outline or framework.

Considering that the Tuke media platform covers the globe, advertisers should pay attention to language habits when communicating advertising requirements with Tuke creators, so that creators can better understand brand information and encourage them to explore more video ideas and formats beyond the reference outline.

Step 3: Execution Phase

Entering the execution phase, to ensure the video can be successfully "launched" and achieve the desired results, advertisers need to confirm the feasibility of the plan with creators, mainly covering the following points:

Creative direction, deliverables, core ideas and potential highlights, production timeline.

It should be noted that the video must ensure "content safety", meaning the visuals and copy must comply with Tuke's public release requirements, avoiding content that restricts distribution.
