3 Victorious TikTok Campaigns by Healthcare Brands That Are A Lesson in Marketing

The Global Consumer Healthcare Market size was estimated to be $332,491.42 million in 2020, and it is expected to reach $665,372.71 million by 2028 at an impressive CAGR of 8.56%. While most other sectors went through a massive slump due to COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown, the healthcare industry continued growing at a rapid rate.

So, it is undoubtedly one of the best industries to be a part of at this point. However, brands operating within the healthcare sector always have to be at the top of their marketing game because of the cut-throat competition in the industry. Therefore, it is imperative for healthcare brands to maximize their online presence and leverage the potential of marketing avenues available to them. This was ably demonstrated by these three healthcare brands that chose to capitalize on the massive potential of TikTok to reach out to their potential customers and boost conversions.

Their creatives highlighted the core features and benefits of the product and laid down the reasons for the consumption of Dorflex UNO during migraine headaches. A “Learn More” call-to-action button was placed on the assets to drive users to a site where they could get more information about the product.
