Socials for Solicitors: 5 Law Firms Using Tiktok That Are Going Viral

If you haven’t got TikTok downloaded, we just wanted to ask: what’s it like being productive? Really. We miss it. And we’re not alone. In 2020, 96% of consumers increased their online video consumption, and 9 out of 10 viewers said that they wanted to see more videos from brands and businesses. In fact, as of 2021, an average person is predicted to spend 100 minutes per day watching online videos,” according to Invideo. Video content is more essential to your marketing efforts than ever before. That’s why we’re taking a look at 5 law firms on TikTok that are really going viral and changing the way firms advertise forever.

What is Tiktok? 

TikTok is a video-sharing social media platform that hosts a range of short-form video content that have a duration from 15 to 60 seconds.

The app was born out of the ashes of another short video app called Vine. Despite being hugely popular, Vine shut down 2017 and left a gap in the market for an easily digestible and widely shareable short video app. TikTok began life in China in 2016 (under a different name) and quickly dominated the market. The company that owned Tiktok, ByteDance, purchased a similar app named Musical.ly (an already established popular lip-syncing app for tweens) and merged the two to take on a more western audience. The app rebranded itself from a lip-syncing platform to an all-encompassing video-sharing platform.

Why should law firms post on Tiktok?

You’ve likely heard of Tiktok as a place for consumer brands to thrive. That’s certainly true, and B2B companies are taking the app by storm, but that isn’t to say there isn’t a place for B2B companies like law firms. As of January 2021, the platform has 689 million monthly active users worldwide. Just to give you an idea of how impressive that is – TikTok gained that much traction in just 3 years. It took Instagram 6 years to gain that many active users and Facebook took 4 years.

If you’re a business of any kind, it’s imperative that you keep an eye on the latest emerging platforms and the best ways to read your audience. Not to mention that TikTok is on the fifth consecutive quarter as the most downloaded app on the Apple App Store. This app isn’t going anywhere any time soon, and it’s only growing in popularity.

With such a growing, untapped audience, it’s essential for law firms to get on TikTok. It might be a little difficult to envisage how your firm is going to take this short-video app by storm. Luckily, there are a couple of early adopters that have paved the way. We’ve put together a list of 5 law firms on TikTok to help you get some ideas of your own:
