Vimeo Teams With TikTok On Small Business Advertising Push

Vimeo VMEO is teaming with TikTok in a partnership designed to encourage small and medium businesses (SMBs) to use the short-form video platform for advertising and marketing.

What Happened: The new partnership will enable SMBs to use the Vimeo Create AI-driven video production tool for producing and publishing advertisements directly into the TikTok Ad Manager within minutes.

The companies collaborated on custom video templates that are exclusively available in Vimeo Create and have been optimized for the TikTok platform.

Vimeo has also joined TikTok Marketing Partners under the new Creative Tools subcategory, with the goal of helping brands produce creative assets for presentations on TikTok.
