TikTokBranded Content
Branded content on TikTok is defined as content that promotes goods or services where you will receive (or have already received) something of value from a third party, such as a brand, in exchange for your post, or which you might otherwise need to disclose in accordance with your local laws or regulations. It could be a brand endorsement, partnership, or another kind of promotion for a product or service.
Branded Content Toggle
The Branded content toggle helps you communicate clearly when a commercial relationship exists between you and a business.
You must enable the Branded content toggle when posting Branded content on TikTok. When you enable the toggle, it adds a disclosure (for example, #Ad) to the description of your post. The Branded content toggle is available to all accounts globally.
Only post Branded content that meets our Branded Content Policy. Branded content will be reviewed by our moderation team to ensure compliance.
To turn on the Branded Content Toggle:
1. Tap More options on the Post screen, then tap Branded content
2. Turn the toggle On
*If you're in the TikTok Creator Marketplace you only need to tap Branded content in the post flow to turn the toggle On.
Branded Content Toggle for TikTok Creator Marketplace Creators
If you're already enrolled in the TikTok Creator Marketplace, our official platform for brand and creator collaborations, you can link your post to your TTCM campaign to share analytics with your brand partner either by uploading through the TTCM creator console or through the normal TikTok flow.

Music Licensing for Branded Content
Branded content must only contain music from the Commercial Music library. If you (or your brand / advertising partner) have obtained the necessary music licensing rights to use music which is not available in the Commercial music library then you must upload your Branded content post via the normal TikTok post upload flow (not through the TikTok Creator Marketplace) and confirm you have obtained the necessary rights to use that music.
