ANECDOTE

From College Dorm To TikTok Shop Agency

  • Jake Bjorseth left college, lived in squalor, and built Trendsttrs as a Gen Z agency that quickly signed big clients like McDonald's.
  • After joining TikTok Shop's launch, his agency pivoted to focus on social commerce and grew to 40 TikTok Shop brands.
INSIGHT

TikTok Shop Collapses The Funnel

  • TikTok Shop collapses the marketing funnel by letting viewers buy directly inside the app.
  • It integrates with existing commerce platforms like Shopify so orders still flow through your main stack.
ADVICE

Test If Your Product Plays On Camera

  • Test whether your product 'plays well on camera' with unscripted UGC before committing to TikTok Shop.
  • If a random high-schooler can make a good 15s video with it, you likely have a seven-figure TikTok Shop product.
