TikTok is currently on a tear. For the past 3 years, the social platform has seen growth unlike any other and has the numbers to show as well - 315 million downloads in Q1 2020 to be exact. While these are staggering numbers, it is even more significant when the average user spends 50 minutes on the app each day. That’s something to be reckoned with considering there are so many other social platforms that are vying for our attention - a valuable commodity in today’s world.
