TikTok has revolutionised digital marketing by enabling brands to craft interactive and engaging experiences using augmented reality (AR) effects. These immersive experiences not only boost user engagement but also significantly amplify brand awareness and loyalty, especially in digitally active markets like Singapore and throughout Asia. Below are five compelling examples of how prominent brands have successfully leveraged TikTok effects to captivate their audience.
