Business English News 53 - TikTok

In this Business English News lesson we look at business English vocabulary related to technology and TikTok.

Never before has there been such a reaction to an app’s sudden popularity. So just how did the app reach one billion downloads and 150 million active users in the U.S.? According to the Guardian:

TikTok owes its phenomenal success to a host of canny choices. They feature easy-to-use video, with creation tools that blur the line between creator and consumer.

And a billion-dollar advertising campaign on Facebook brought in new users as quickly as Zuckerberg’s company could send them over.
