Indeed has teamed up with TikTok for #IndeedPeDhoondo campaign. Social Samosa talks to the brand about its making and execution.
With over 200 million users in the country, of which 120 million are active every month, TikTok’s relentless growth globally and back home has been something to take utter notice of. In 2019, India contributed 45 percent or 277.6 million to TikTok's 614 million global app installs and this now reflects in digital spends as brands take notice of the platform. IndeedPeDhoondo taps on this trend.
Indeed tapped on TikTok reaching out to a wider base of users, the younger demographic if you may, for their campaign, #IndeedPeDhoondo. Set to a rap verse, the campaign attempts to grab the attention of potential job seekers and introduces them to the brand that can help them find their dream job.
