Strong campaign performance leads to new verticals, addition of TikTok

SAN ANTONIO, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vericast today announced the expansion of its best-in-class influencer and paid social marketing solution to include TikTok, the world's fastest growing video platform. Following a year of nearly 40% growth and success among clients in the consumer packaged goods vertical, the solution is available now to Vericast's retail and restaurant clients. The announcement is another example of the company's broader investment in marketing technology innovation.

Fueled by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and industry-exclusive predictive intelligence technology, Vericast delivers organic creator content via paid social ads through the influencers' handles.

AI technology evaluates and identifies the right influencer while proprietary data and insights from Vericast's Consumer Graph help to ensure content reaches a brand's target customer. Overlaying the Consumer Graph allows the delivery of smarter, more precise targeting and taps into consumer behavior beyond the standard capability of social platforms. With advanced technology and a strategic approach, Vericast's client campaigns had significantly higher click-through rates, impressions, and increased brand awareness.

"We are redefining the way brands and consumers connect with each other," said Tina Seitzinger, Senior Director, Influencer Marketing and Paid Social at Vericast. "Vericast can provide authentic storytelling combined with data depth to reach the right audiences with quality placements. This transcends traditional brand marketing to inspire and influence purchase decisions."

TikTok bolsters Vericast's paid social portfolio that includes Facebook and Instagram. With the addition of TikTok, Vericast is one of the first marketing solutions companies to offer a technologically sophisticated influencer program with the depth, breadth, and diversity of thousands of credible content creators representing multiple categories including lifestyle, fashion, beauty, food, health, and more.
