Clarence Valley Council are offering four workshop sessions in August across the Clarence Valley in collaboration with growth marketing expert Louis Birks.

Attendees can expect to learn how TikTok is supercharging small businesses. This fun, practical, step-by-step workshop series is designed for anyone wanting to stay ahead in business using modern tools that work for regional Australia. 

Did you know:

• The platform’s algorithm promotes content organically, giving even small businesses a chance to go viral without spending heavily on ads.

• TikTok favors raw, unpolished content over highly produced ads, making it easier and cheaper for businesses to create content.

• Participating in viral challenges, sounds, or hashtags can put a brand in front of millions of users quickly.

• TikTok has integrated shopping features like TikTok Shop and product tagging, enabling direct sales from the app. You can turn viewers into customers easily!
