70+ Best eCommerce & DTC TikTok Profiles from Top Brands I've Seen (2024)

There are some incredible brands in the world of eCommerce and DTC that are doing a fantastic job when it comes to their TikTok content and strategy. 

That’s why I’m excited to introduce and show you many brands within this mega guide who are absolutely nailing it when it comes to viral content and videos that get serious traction.

In fact, many of these brands have managed to achieve millions (and millions) of views and rapidly build up an engaged audience in a short period of time. 

So, why did I curate these accounts, and why am I sharing them with you all?

Well, I’ve been working with a couple of brands recently with their TikTok strategy, and one of the key things I did personally when I first started was explore and research what other brands are doing, regardless of whether or not they’re in the category of the brand I’m working with.

And ta-da! These are the many accounts I’ve been tracking for some time now that do an astounding job when it comes to their TikTok game. I know you’re going to love going through each of them for your own inspiration and research (I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the process myself). 

What’s included for each of the accounts I’ve shared?

Goal of this guide: This is a taste-tester guide, not a full breakdown/super detailed audit. I simply want to introduce you to brands that are doing an amazing job on the platform. When it comes to the ‘analysis’ for each profile, I didn’t go into deep detail (there’s a separate resource/guide that will come later which goes deeper for certain brands). For this guide, I simply wanted to give a taster and introduction to amazing brands that you can explore further and do your own deeper analysis. ‍

Oh, and quickly - the numbers of total followers, total likes, and the number of views of their most popular videos on each profile WILL change. Many of these companies are growing really fast on TikTok, so the numbers will likely be outdated for most of these brands due to the nature of how fast they’re growing. The numbers that I’ve shared should just be used as a guide to help you see which ones have done a great job in their earlier stages of growth within their chosen category.

I structured each of them and included key summary items, including: 

• Background about the company (and what they sell)
• Total followers and total likes (at the time I wrote the guide - naturally, total followers and total likes would have increased)
• Descriptions
• High-level comments about the content they produce (e.g. something I noticed they tend to focus more on)

When it comes to the categories, there are 10 categories I share the top profiles of.

Naturally, there are a lot of other brands on TikTok that have done an incredible job when it comes to growth and producing awesome viral videos, but I wanted to focus on the amazing brands within the eCommerce and DTC world across key categories. 

(By the way, if you don’t see your category here, don’t worry! I’ll add more categories and profiles over time).

What are the key factors and things to look out for in order to identify what the best brands do when it comes to being successful on TikTok?

When it comes to exploring this guide and getting as much value out of it as you can, it’s important to have a small checklist of key learnings and takeaways that you should be looking out for. 

Here’s the list of items and questions I use to help with research for learnings that I can apply to myself/brands I work with:

• How many followers and total likes do they have on their profile?
• What’s the average engagement of their views? In particular, what’s the average amount of views across a profile’s videos?
• What’s written in the bio and what’s the CTA? Where does the CTA link go to?
• What type of video content are they producing? Do you notice anything particular about their video strategy?
• What type of target audience are they producing content for? A younger audience? A nice-specific audience?
• Have they incorporated an influencer marketing strategy? Such as UGC (user generated content) videos with notable creators/influencers? If so, what are the nature of these videos? Reviews or product unboxing?
• When it comes to videos, what types do they primarily focus on? Educational interviews, Q&A’s, funny videos (like dancing)?
• Do they participate in dance challenges or any sort of TikTok challenge?
• Do you notice any certain trends in terms of the editing of their videos?
• What hooks do they use (i.e. the first 3 seconds)? How do they go about drawing the attention of people scrolling that makes you want to watch the video?
• Have they done TikTok live before or any sort of streaming content?
• How is the brand voice communicated within the videos they produce? 
• Are they producing many videos that include trending music and sounds? As well as trending edits?

So, this is the main checklist of items I use when it comes to assessing account success. Of course, you may have other specific questions/things you look out for depending on the industry/category you work in. 

Either way, I hope this helps create some structure for you to do your own ‘auditing’ and analysis. 

Now it’s time to get stuck into these amazing brands that are nailing TikTok. :)

⚡ Frequently Asked Questions ⚡

Who are the most successful brands on TikTok in this guide that you recommend all marketers and founders need to analyse further?

Whilst I believe pretty much all the brands I’ve spoken about in this guide are really good, there are certainly some standouts that keep producing epic TikTok content for their audiences. If I had to narrow it down to 7 of them that have done a really good job when it comes to executing creative and engaging videos, they would be; Beyond Meat, Daily Harvest, Mecca Beauty, Magic Spoon, Liquid Death, Bulletproof, and Eat Dough. This is, of course, my opinion, but when you check them out, you’ll see my reasons why.

Who are the most followed TikTok companies in this guide, and what types of videos and content strategy do they normally follow?

In no particular order of view counts or followers, these are the most followed brands on TikTok within this guide that have a really great video strategy in place (within their respective categories) - Supply, Disco, Golde, Frank Body, City Beach Australia, Ben & Jerry’s, Hello Fresh (US), Off Limits, Ruggable, Bed Threads, and Zara Home. When you go through each of these brand’s accounts, the types of videos they produce that have helped them get to the huge follower and view counts they’ve achieved include producing educational videos, comedy-based and humorous videos, Q&A videos, exclusive interviews with key folk in their specific categories, relatable videos that their audience understands and gravitate towards (so storytelling, etc.), unboxing videos, product reviews, and just any type of entertaining content (i.e. dance challenges, dancing videos, etc - all using the latest trending music, sounds, and edits). A key standout that many of these brands follow is focusing on producing short form content that doesn’t go longer than 30 seconds (or 45 secs at best). As many of us know, you can produce TikTok content that lasts for a few minutes, but if you want to try replicate the success of these other companies, then it’s best to focus on producing short form videos.

What are some of the most important attributes when it comes to creating viral TikTok videos, and how can you create consistent success?

To achieve virality on the platform, it’s all about trial and error. Whilst we’ve seen a lot of brands and creators go viral and have multiple viral pieces of content that get millions of views, it’s not realistic to expect that every video is going to go gangbusters. Especially, if you’re just starting out on TikTok. In fact, if you scroll towards the early days of a brand’s TikTok feed, you’ll see they started off with some humble numbers. Yet, the way they helped themselves go viral, and produce more videos that had a stronger chance of going viral, was that they did a lot of trial and error. Yes, it’s all about testing and seeing what aspects you can then replicate to create your ‘own recipe’ when it comes to producing epic content that can get serious view counts - remember, they all had to start at ground zero. In terms of the specific attributes that go towards creating top-notch TikTok videos, they include; ensuring you’re using the latest sounds and music from ‘on trend videos’ that are performing well (I recommend using an app called TrendTok), using trending hashtags that are relevant (and make sure to include your own brand specific hashtags), have a great first 3 seconds (also known as the hook), post at random times (i.e. not on the hour as that’s when everyone else posts), and ensuring you interact/engage with your TikTok comments (and responding to them as fast as you can to keep the engagement momentum up - the TikTok algorithm loves that).

What are your top 3 tips and recommendations when it comes to formulating a successful TikTok strategy like some of these brands whilst on a lean budget?

There’s naturally quite a bit that goes into formulating a marketing strategy for TikTok. However, I’d say 3 key recommendations stand out the most for me that many of these brands follow in order to really scale their ability to produce videos that do really well (which in turn gets millions of views and followers) that you should absolutely focus on and ensure it’s a core area of your strategy. The first tip/recommendation is nailing the ‘hook’ for each of the videos. You need to stand out from the beginning when you do your videos - i.e. say something potentially contrary to normal beliefs or thoughts within your industry or perhaps a controversial point of view on a particular ‘hot take’ (this, of course, needs to be done within reason). The reason why I point out the ‘hook’ as the number one thing to remember is that it can play a key role in terms of the content you produce (and the strategy that you’ll follow). If you think about the types of hooks that you will produce, then that will play a role in helping you create quality videos that are engaging from the start, so that you have a good chance of getting high view counts. Honestly, some amazing videos I’ve seen have low view counts not due to the fact that the video is bad, it’s just that the intro (first 3 seconds) is strong enough to get people interested and ‘hooked’ to watch the rest of it. The second tip/recommendation is actually a key reason why I created this guide in the first place - curate inspiration from your industry and do your own audits. Do a competitor analysis and explore what your competitors are producing on their TikTok feeds (keep track and take screenshots). Look at the types of titles and videos that are getting more engagement over others. If you do an audit first, this will help you a lot on refining content that you should focus on. The third main tip I recommend focusing on is working with content creators/influencers (or even relatable brands) for collab videos. One of the best ways to grow your TikTok profile is to leverage the networks and followings of others that have already done the hard work of building their audience. You can do UGC product review videos, perhaps an interview series on a particular topic, or even do a UGC competition. You’d be surprised with the right outreach approach and offering, that you can do this quite cost-effectively. To round out the tips/recommendations I’ve suggested, these are 3 that have worked well for brands I’ve seen. Naturally, there are many other factors that go into formulating a winning strategy, but these 3 for me are certainly key to consider.

Have you had much luck with TikTok Ads, and do you encourage brands to explore further if they're not doing ads?

Yes, I’ve had some really good recent success with ads on the TikTok platform, and I certainly encourage brands that if they’re not doing ads on the platform that they should seriously consider it as a new channel outside of the typical ad networks (e.g. Facebook/Instagram). Since doing ads on the platform, we’ve seen cheaper CPMs and relatively good CPA overall. CPMs, in particular, have been really encouraging for us to continue investing in as a channel. I know TikTok is releasing new features and more efficient ways of using the ads suite, which is great to see as a performance marketer, so I’m excited to see the new developments and features that will be rolled out (and no doubt announcements of new placements).
