Launching a New Haircare Line on TikTok Without an Existing Audience
A first product drop had strong demo content but zero starting audience to give it any early momentum.

The Challenge
Launch videos were well produced but opened to zero views on a brand-new account, giving TikTok's algorithm nothing to work with before deciding whether to distribute further. Every early video died at under 50 views.
The Approach
An early views and likes push on the first week of launch videos gave the algorithm enough signal to start testing the content with real audiences, while the brand kept posting consistent demo and results content. A handful of videos broke out organically after that initial push.
Services Used
“Our third video finally got picked up by the For You page on its own, and we're pretty sure it's because the first two weeks gave the algorithm something to learn from.”
