things that have altered my brain chemistry
What it is: TikTok recently debuted a carousel feature (likely as a way to continue their competition with Instagram for "most features ever") that automatically slides through photos or can be swiped through at the viewer’s speed. TikTokers are using this feature in a new trend that shows a slideshow of moments that have changed their lives so drastically that it "altered their brain chemistry." While sure, some are serious, most either tell a silly story of something that happened to them with each part of the story on a slide or use the slides as a visual list to show moments in time or objects that had the same effect.
How brands can jump in: What moments in time or objects have altered your brand's brain chemistry? Create a list yourself of silly light-hearted moments that pertain to your fans’ favorite things about you and their behaviors interacting with your product. Make sure to use the carousel feature in TikTok and to use the first slide as the title.
Examples: 1, 2, 3 *Note: this feature is only available on mobile. To see these examples, check them out on your phone!
Urgency level: Warm! This trend is floating around the TikTok ether and is great to keep for when you need it, however, the carousel feature is pretty new so be one of the first brands to jump on it!
