Strategy

We create a whole series worthy of the CTC channel! But we wanted to do it on the Tiktok territory and according to its rules. Interactive and featuring famous actors and bloggers!

To make the series look authentic for the TikTok audience, CTC shot it with the help of the TikTok production XO team, inviting popular Russian TikTockers as actors.

Therefore, the budget of the series was much less than any STS TV-format series.
