There’s little doubt that TikTok, once on the chopping block in the United States under the administration of former President Donald Trump, has taken the world by storm.

Users young and old, from Gen Z to Boomers and beyond, use the platform daily to create, like and share short videos that offer everything from helpful life hacks to educational content and the latest trending memes and trends.

But is the juice worth the squeeze for B2B marketers trying to capitalize on the popularity and audience?

To find out, Voice of B2B Daniel Litwin was joined by Kyle Dulay, Co-Founder of Collabstr, a platform that allows brands to find and acquire the services of Instagram, TikTok and YouTube “influencers” vetted by the company.

Though bridging entertainment and engagement is a key focus of many modern B2B brands, selecting the right vehicle to engage in forging that connectivity is critical.

TikTok could be that vehicle for some brands simply due to the platform’s friendliness toward more niche interests, which is further boosted by an algorithm that rewards good, valuable content.

Still, though, most of the marketing efforts on the platform have targeted end consumers, themselves – so where do B2B brands fit in?

“I think [TikTok] is useful, but in a way that a lot of B2B companies aren’t thinking of it,” Dulay said. “If you’re looking for instant gratification and instant growth, it’s not the place for you. But if you want to look at a five to 10 year outlook and see how you can capture that Gen Z and millennial market – that’s the workforce 10 years from now.”

As World Cup arrives in the US, creator-access clauses reshape broadcast rights deals

As World Cup arrives in the US, creator-access clauses reshape broadcast rights deals

FIFA's broadcast strategy for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico represents the most structurally complex rights package in the tournament's history. Deals now span over 220 territories, include a live-streaming partnership with YouTube, and formally embed creator access into rights frameworks for the first time. Meanwhile, Fox Sports' legacy deal — secured in 2015 for $485 million — has become what Observer describes as the broadcast bargain of the century, setting up dramatically higher price expectations in the next rights cycle.

  • 01FIFA secured broadcast agreements in over 220 territories, with a Dallas-based International Broadcast Centre distributing roughly 8,000 hours of additional non-live content, according to FIFA.
  • 02Fox Sports pays $485 million for US rights to a tournament Observer estimates is worth more than three times that figure — making it likely the last major sports broadcast deal secured at a deep discount.
  • 03FIFA's first-ever global creator programme and a preferred-platform deal with YouTube — allowing broadcasters to stream the first 10 minutes of every match plus select full games — mark a structural shift in how rights are packaged.
