TikTok US Sale Finalised; P&G Shakeup; WPP Production Hub
Week in Review covers major moves in adtech and marketing. TikTok has finalised a deal to avoid a US ban, creating a majority American-owned joint venture with Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX each holding 15% and ByteDance owning 19.9%. The JV will secure US user data, retrain TikTok’s algorithm for US audiences, and govern trust and safety policies in the United States. The deal ends a years-long threat to ban the app and follows a 2024 bill to ban TikTok unless a US buyer is found. Separately, Procter & Gamble signalled a major shakeup of its media strategy on an earnings call, emphasising AI-enabled personalized marketing across connected and broadcast TV, online video, social, e-commerce, and in-store channels. Finally, WPP announced WPP Production, uniting Hogarth with its broader production capabilities and embedding Gen AI at the heart of a new high-velocity content studio and integrated production-plus-media solution.
TikTok Included Beside Amazon and Walmart in RFPs
TikTok Shop is moving from a peripheral mention to a named, budgeted channel in formal agency RFPs, appearing alongside Amazon and Walmart. Agencies and measurement firms report growing enterprise interest: Podean says brand inquiries are up significantly year-over-year and contracts are typically 12 months or longer. Sales from brands with $30M+ annual revenue rose 97% year-over-year on TikTok Shop, with transaction volume up nearly 80%. Brands including Ulta Beauty, Sally Beauty and PepsiCo have launched storefronts or invested in the format. Measurement providers like Prescient AI are adding TikTok Shop connectors every two to three days. Agencies note TikTok Shop often looks loss-leading on direct attribution, but drives measurable halo lifts on other retail channels when used as an upper-funnel, creator-driven tactic (notably via TikTok’s GMV Max). Ownership of Shop capabilities remains fragmented between social and marketplace teams, and many winning shops are run in-house.
OK Future's AI 'Pressure Cooker' Campaign for Goodwipes
Former MullenLowe U.S. CEO Frank Cartagena launched creative shop OK Future to test generative AI's potential for a small agency. Their first project, a spoof of OpenAI's Astra ad for personal hygiene brand Goodwipes, was produced in four days using AI tools like ArtCraft, Seedance, and OpenAI's Astra model, cutting projected production costs from $700,000. The campaign, 'Meet Asstra,' gained over 1.5 million views on Reddit. However, Cartagena described the pace as 'unsustainable' and a 'pressure cooker,' with team members working around the clock and even threatening to quit. Goodwipes' SVP of Marketing, Meredith Diehn, emphasized trust in Cartagena and the value of experimenting with AI. The article highlights the growing use of AI in creative production, with 73% of marketers using GenAI for visual content and Gartner forecasting AI software spending to reach $981 billion by 2029.
