tiktok content agency.

Content built across multiple pillars, split between trust building and conversion, that turns watching into buying. 73% of users purchase after watching TikTok content and 75%+ of TikTok Shop buyers are net-new to the brands they buy from — so every video we make is given a commercial job.

What we do

content with a commercial job.

Every video we make is native, and every video is given one of two jobs: build trust, or convert. That split is what sets TikTok apart from every other platform — the same feed that builds a brand and a community around it is the feed people buy from, so brand building and selling stop being separate budgets.

01

Organic content, planned as a mix

The content that wins on TikTok earns its attention before it asks for anything: native, scroll-stopping formats with creator-style execution and a reason to stay in the first seconds. We plan output across multiple pillars suited to your brand — awareness, education, social proof and conversion among them — split between trust building and selling, weighted to where the brand is today. And we hold one standard above all: consistency over perfection.

The testing loop

We do not guess which creative works. Where it counts, every concept runs a 4-step loop: brief hooks, post and test while tracking views, CTR, CTOR and GMV, review the results, then scale the winners with more creators and more spend. It is a constantly improving feedback loop — creative judgement and data working together, not one replacing the other.

Earning attention

Attention is the scarcest thing on TikTok — people scroll fast, and you have seconds to earn a second more. Virality isn't luck, it's understanding what actually stops someone: controversy, tension, a strong opinion, something that feels different to everything else in their feed. We won't copy what's working for your competitors — we find the angle that's genuinely yours, the thing that sets you apart, and build every brief around capturing attention with it.

Content in the flywheel

Content is the acquisition engine of the whole TikTok Shop flywheel. 88% of users discover brands they want to buy on TikTok, 76% consider after discovering, 73% purchase after watching, and viewers are 2.5x more likely to search a brand after TikTok than after other social platforms. Product tagging puts every viewer two taps from buying, and pre-heat content turns LIVE events into a measurable sign-up funnel. The full numbers are in our TikTok Shop statistics for 2026.

Two engines, one system

Two engines, one system. Affiliate content drives the sale — but people buy from brands they recognise. A brand account with real presence gives every affiliate video something to point back to, and makes someone far more likely to trust it enough to buy. We build that presence from awareness to conversion as it grows, with the mix shaped around exactly what the brand needs.

How we run it

the content engine.

01

Build the ramp

Content shifts from awareness-building to conversion-focused as the brand's presence grows, with the pillar mix adjusted at every stage based on what's working. Where a brand starts depends on where they are today.

02

Go native

Output moves into an always-on TikTok-native mix, weighted to exactly what that brand needs to grow — no two brands run the same mix.

03

Make it shoppable

A product tag gets someone buying in two taps, a LIVE tag gets them signed up to watch. Earlier content primes them to act, so the tag lands when they're ready.

04

Test and scale

Winners get more creators and more spend, losers get dropped, and the loop gets sharper every week.

Proof

content that did a job.

We work with L'Oréal Groupe across showcase LIVEs and digital environments, and with Unilever across four brands including TRESemmé and Vaseline. The content around a moment is what decides whether anyone turns up to it.

The Beauty Crop · Showcase £120k+

GMV from a single 12-hour showcase LIVE, at a 28% click-through rate. Pre-heat content filled the room before the broadcast opened — the audience was warm because the posting had already done that work.

Vaseline · Unilever launch launched at full price.

GLUTA-HYA Lip Serum taken to market on TikTok Shop for Unilever. Launch content answered the question before the objection, so value did the selling and RRP never dropped below retail.

L'Oréal Groupe · Mugler showcase the run-up is the work.

We staged the L'Oréal x Mugler showcase LIVE, set build and all. A broadcast that size is won before it starts: the pre-heat content is what tells an audience there is something worth showing up for.

Shopping is the byproduct of a great content idea, not the starting point.

FAQ

content questions, answered.

What does a TikTok content agency do?
A TikTok content agency plans, briefs and produces the organic content that grows a brand on TikTok: brand-account videos, creator-style content, campaign launches and LIVE pre-heat. At Somerce every video is given one of two jobs, building trust or converting, and that split is what makes TikTok different from other platforms — the feed that builds a brand and a community is the same feed people buy from. We handle strategy, creative direction, briefing, production and the testing loop that decides what gets scaled. If you are comparing providers, start with our guide to choosing a UK TikTok Shop agency.
How does organic TikTok content drive sales on TikTok Shop?
TikTok is a discovery engine: 88% of users discover brands they want to buy on TikTok, 76% consider a brand after discovering it there, and 73% purchase after watching TikTok content. Because every video can carry a product tag, a viewer is two taps from watching to buying. And with 75%+ of TikTok Shop buyers net-new to the brands they buy from, content is acquisition, not just awareness. See the full data in our TikTok Shop statistics for 2026.
Do we need UGC creators or a brand account?
Both, doing different jobs. Affiliate and UGC-style content drives the sale. Brand-account content does something different — it builds a real community and presence on TikTok, so people recognise the brand, trust it, and start looking for it beyond the platform too. That halo effect is what makes every other piece of content work harder. The mix between the two is built around where the brand is starting from, not a fixed rollout. If creators are the priority, start with our affiliate service.
How do you know what content will work?
We do not guess, we test — but testing is only half of it. Every concept starts with a content team shaping the creative angle, direction and aesthetic, briefed against what's trending on TikTok and in culture more broadly. From there it runs through a 4-step loop: brief hooks, post and test while tracking views, CTR, CTOR and GMV, review the numbers, then scale the winners with more creators and more spend. It's a constantly improving feedback loop — creative judgement and data working together, not one replacing the other.
How often should a brand post on TikTok?
Consistency over perfection. TikTok rewards native, always-on output, and a testing loop only works with enough volume to read. That is why we run an always-on mix across brand account and creators rather than occasional polished campaigns, with every video given a clear purpose: trust building and brand awareness, or conversion.
