International Brands Select Emplifi to Grow TikTok Audiences

Kapten & Son and Paris Saint-Germain utilize Emplifi’s Social Marketing Cloud to manage, measure, and create exciting video content for their TikTok audiences.

Emplifi, the leading unified customer experience (CX) platform, announced that Kapten & Son, a leading lifestyle accessory brand based in Germany, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), a professional football (soccer) club in Paris, France, are using Emplifi’s Social Marketing Cloud to expand their brand reach to an ever growing community of creative and energized followers on TikTok. As part of the TikTok Marketing Partner Program, Emplifi is among an inaugural group of content marketing partners making it easier for marketers to scale their content on TikTok.

Kapten & Son has always considered social media a key part of its overall strategy, focusing on organic reach through its owned channels to reach potential and existing customers and lower customer acquisition costs.

“TikTok reaches a large number of young audience members that we have trouble addressing on our existing channels,” said Sophie Creitz, Senior Social Manager, Kapten & Son. “We want to retain our existing customers while showing our personality and connecting with a wider audience on TikTok.”

With the help of Emplifi, Kapten & Son’s social team keeps track of constantly evolving trends and adapts its content to fit the personal tone of TikTok.

“The frequency of innovations in social media marketing leads to frequently changing strategies,” said Creitz. “Short-form video content requires higher production efforts, meaning that tracking the business impact and comparing it to paid marketing outlets is essential.”
