TikTok Creators Offer A Sneak-Peak Into Their Lives Through #DiscoverMyWorld, Maximising Longer Content Formats
Since launching the option for longer-form content on the platform, TikTok has seen a rise in ‘vlog’ style videos with an average length of 2.14 minutes, allowing users more time to be creative and changing the way the community interacts on TikTok. To celebrate the expanded format and the diversity that makes the MENA region unique, top regional creators on TikTok are giving followers a sneak peak into their daily lives through #DiscoverMyWorld.
Regionally loved presenter, singer and actress Azza Zarour, fashionista Hadeer Hameed, cutting edge content creator Ali Khaled, football freestyler Mohamed Gamal and leading CEOs and national business of note such as Rashid Al Habtoor will be getting on board. The creators will draw back the curtains and invite users to join them on a day in their action packed lives, made possible through the flexibility of creativity and content formats on TikTok.
The latest vlog-style videos span across multiple verticals, including educational, inspirational and entertaining videos, with over 5 billion daily views racked up globally for content lasting a minute or longer. Across the world, vlogs account for one in five of all longer form content, as users aim to create closer connections and share their worlds with one another.
#DiscoverMyWorld debuts regional celebrities and top creators including Rashid Al Habtoor and Saif Belhassa to showcase their intriguing lives, as they take on work, day to day activities at home, dining out and unwinding. On a global front, celebrities such as The Rock, Heidi Montag, Daniel Mac and Salem Mitchell will all be getting on board to invite users to join them on a day in their lives. The move will take TikTok communities on a journey of discovery, as storytelling in this format continues to bring people together.
