Challenge

Help the association enter TikTok with a strong content package and establish what kind of football content attracts Finnish audiences.

Starting point

  • No TikTok account
  • Format unknown
  • A strong start as the goal

Insight

The organisation needed an immediate grasp of TikTok style, pacing and hooks, not a long strategy document.

Strategy

Audience

Finnish football fans

Hypothesis

A strong launch package sets the direction immediately

Formats

A seven-video launch package

Distribution

The association's own TikTok account

Execution

I developed and produced a package of seven videos, which the association's team published on its own account.

Testing and iteration

Few ideas work perfectly at first. I test, learn and make the next version better.

Version A

Traditional organisational content

What we learned

Hook and pacing decide the first seconds

Version B

A TikTok-first launch package

Result

126K, 120K and 86K views on the first three videos

Data behind the numbers

I don't want you to simply trust the results. I'm happy to show where the numbers come from.

  • Roughly 70,000 average views across seven videos
  • The organisation moved content production in-house
  • Numbers are based on analytics data

What I learned

Strong individual videos launch an account, but do not sustain growth.

Sustainable growth needs a clear concept, not just viral hits.

An account needs a recognisable identity and a repeatable content system.
