Joanne Chehab, Head of Business Partnerships, MENA – Global Business Solutions at TikTok, said: “TikTok is a powerful connector between brands and consumers. More so than ever, digital interactions are becoming an important factor in the purchasing funnel for consumers, especially for car enthusiasts. We’ve seen bands increasingly adopt a creator’s mindset to forge meaningful connections within the automotive community.
“Brands are recognising the importance of an authentic communication style and leveraging user-generated content (UGC) to create credible material that brings consumers closer to consideration. ‘Moving Topics’ tackles just that, while addressing how automotive giants, manufacturers, and dealers are navigating today’s consumer journey to unite enthusiasts and build brand loyalty through genuine interactions and entertaining experiences.”
With each episode, users are invited to rev up their engines and join industry leaders on a cruise through a world where innovation meets inspiration, all while building a community that’s fuelled by authenticity and driven by shared enthusiasm for the open road.
