The TikTok Marketing Podcast with Fexingo: Short Video, Creator Economy, and Viral Content
Lucas and Luna dissect the mechanics of short-form video marketing, from TikTok's algorithm to the creator economy's revenue splits. Each episode examines a specific case — a brand's viral campaign, a creator's monetization strategy, or a platform policy change — and extracts the numbers that matter: cost-per-engagement, average watch time, affiliate conversion rates.

They debate whether 'viral' is a repeatable strategy or a lottery, how creator equity deals compare to ad spend, and what the TikTok Shop rollout means for small businesses.
