At Advertising Week New York 2026, we're unveiling agentic solutions across every stage of the customer journey and expanding creative potential both on-and-off the platform.The opportunity is significant: PF Global's TikTok's Economic Impact Report published last week found that economic activity on TikTok helped generate $81 billion in GDP for US businesses [1], with 54 million Americans purchasing a product after watching a TikTok video [2]. When content is culturally relevant, audiences connect, explore, and take action - turning attention into scalable business growth, increasingly powered by AI. That momentum is reflected in the latest findings from Kantar's Media Reactions 2026 report, which ranked TikTok as the #1 platform where marketers plan to increase ad spend in 2027 [3], with 84% of marketers placing advertising on TikTok [4]."AI is transforming how advertiser content is created and scaled," says David Kaufman, Global Head of Monetization Product Partnerships at TikTok.
