“At HoM, we’re turning uncertainty into opportunity. By staying agile and data-driven, we’re ensuring our clients remain ahead of the curve no matter what happens with TikTok,” says Iñigo Rivero, Founder and CEO of House of Marketers.
The potential U.S. TikTok ban could disrupt brand strategies and ROI, making it essential for brands to rethink their approach in the evolving digital landscape. TikTok has been a digital hub for over 170 million American users, and while the prospect of change is significant, it also opens the door to fresh strategies and creative possibilities.
House of Marketers (HoM) is at the forefront of helping U.S. clients and other companies targeting the US to stay ahead, offering a strategic roadmap for brands to thrive. HoM recommends diversifying your market penetration on TikTok, diversifying platforms, focusing on UGC (user-generated content), and strengthening influencer partnerships to ensure continued engagement and success. As an influencer marketing agency, we see this moment of uncertainty as a pivotal opportunity for brands to innovate, adapt, and connect with audiences in new ways. HoM is proactively addressing these challenges with a clear plan to help our clients navigate the situation and thrive in the evolving digital landscape.
Here’s how we are keeping brands ahead of the curve.
What Next For Brands Post TikTok?
TikTok has become indispensable for many brands, offering unmatched engagement rates and access to younger demographics. A ban could mean:
- Losing a direct connection to over 100 million users.
- Reduced ROI for TikTok-based campaigns.
- The challenge of identifying and transitioning to alternative platforms.
As businesses brace for change, the focus must shift to adaptability. While U.S. marketers may face challenges, this could also be an opportunity to invest in emerging global markets. TikTok is thriving in many regions, and as other countries’ platforms and markets grow in significance, brands must diversify their strategies and plan for growth beyond U.S. borders.
Additionally, it’s worth considering the possibility that the TikTok ban may be reversed under a future administration. While the current environment is uncertain, the strategic foundation built now will pay off when or if the situation shifts back. HoM’s approach considers these fluctuating conditions and prepares clients for multiple outcomes, both locally and globally.
Quick Update of The Current Situation: What’s Happening with TikTok in the U.S.?
TikTok, a powerhouse of short-form video content, has come under scrutiny in the U.S. due to national security concerns tied to its parent company, ByteDance. Discussions about a potential ban have intensified, prompting brands to evaluate the future of their marketing strategies.
This uncertainty, while challenging, represents a key moment for marketers to reassess their approaches and discover new opportunities. Whether it’s diversifying platforms or testing innovative content strategies, this is the time to remain agile and proactive. HoM’s data-driven strategies and expertise position us to guide clients through these changes seamlessly.

Recommendations for Businesses Preparing for the Shift
For brands looking to stay ahead, HOM recommends:
- Diversifying Platform Strategies: Build a presence on multiple platforms to reduce reliance on any single channel.
- Prioritising UGC and Influencer Partnerships: These content types perform well across platforms and keep audiences engaged. Influencer partnerships in emerging markets could provide significant returns.
- Exploring Emerging Platforms: Platforms like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and new regional players offer exciting opportunities for short-form storytelling. TikTok’s growth in non-U.S. markets, especially in eCommerce, should also be explored to expand reach.
- Focus on Global Expansion: Explore international audiences on TikTok and other platforms. Markets in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Europe present massive potential for global brand expansion and eCommerce opportunities.
