RepresentUs wanted to reach new audiences on TikTok, but our early efforts weren’t breaking through. The content felt static, production cycles were slow, and engagement lagged.
With limited resources and an urgent need to reach target audiences ahead of key democracy reform campaigns, we needed a smarter, faster way to create content that would resonate.
The Strategy
I led an initiative to fully integrate AI into our TikTok workflow.
We paired AI-generated insights with our signature storytelling approach of emotionally resonant, nonpartisan messaging designed to cut through polarization and motivate action.
We reimagined our production process with three goals:
- Speed:
Automate repetitive editing and captioning tasks to shorten turnaround time. - Creativity:
Use AI to test hooks, optimize scripts, and generate multiple iterations of short-form content. - Performance:
Leverage insights and social listening to identify trends, refine narratives, and increase shareability.
