KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, 15 SEPTEMBER 2020 – TikTok, the short-form video app with a mission to inspire creativity and bring joy, is set to launch its inaugural #ItStartsOnTikTok campaign on 15 September 2020. The campaign celebrates the trends, stories, songs and conversations that started on TikTok and exploded into popularity, delivering cultural and social impact on and off-platform. #ItStartsOnTikTok reinforces TikTok’s role as a platform where ‘culture’ is created by our community, users in Malaysia and throughout the world.
Since its inception, TikTok has grown to become a vibrant, positive and safe platform for creators to let their imagination soar and use their creativity to create powerful content that reaches a worldwide audience. The impact the TikTok community has made on every facet of culture, from arts to food to beauty, fashion, and film, is undeniable. This is represented by our diverse community of creators like Harith Zazman, the singer of the hit song ‘Cute’ who was discovered on TikTok, the #headdancechallenge started by Malaysian creator Afiq Hakim that became a viral worldwide challenge, and when K-pop superstars BTS launched the #CNSChallenge to promote band member J-Hope’s latest hit.
TikTok is a convenient tool to explore and experience new things such as travel with #ExperiencePenang when TikTok partnered with Penang Global Tourism. TikTok highlighted Malaysian culture by celebrating important cultural festivities such as #Raya2020 and Malaysia’s Independence Day with #KitaBersama all while staying safe at home. Recently, TikTok launched the #thinkb4youdo campaign to promote online safety, draw greater attention to the dangers of posting harmful content on the platform, and outline ways to combat cyberbullying.
