Billions in advertising flows through TikTok, which could be banned in the U.S. as soon as Jan. 19. Brands and creators are racing to prepare.<\/p>\n

The impending disappearance of TikTok, one of the most popular social media apps in the United States, has sent marketers, agencies and creators racing to embrace alternatives \u2014 even if they\u2019re not entirely convinced that TikTok will in fact exit the United States this month.<\/p>\n

Marketers are shifting dollars to Instagram and amending their contracts with social media stars so they aren\u2019t stuck paying for sponsored TikTok posts in the app\u2019s absence. Creators are pleading with fans to follow them elsewhere while collecting their email addresses to connect on other platforms. And talent agents are telling TikTok stars to hit pause on buying a house or car for now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just hitting 30 million followers, and 10 days from now I might lose it all,\u201d said Joe Mele, a 26-year-old TikTok star from Long Island who started posting jokes when he was a college freshman. \u201cIt\u2019s a little scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, is trying to overturn a law, signed by<\/a> President Biden in April, that calls for ByteDance to sell the app to a non-Chinese company or face a ban in the United States on Jan. 19. TikTok has claimed a sale is impossible and challenged the law as unconstitutional. It will make its last legal argument in the case on Friday before the Supreme Court, after losing its case in a lower court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

TikTok\u2019s disappearance would upend the social media and marketing landscape, routing billions in advertising dollars to rival platforms like Meta\u2019s Instagram and Google\u2019s YouTube and scattering its 170 million monthly U.S. users. TikTok, known for its video feed that quickly adjusts to users\u2019 interests, has become a cultural juggernaut<\/a> since 2020, giving rise to best-selling books, viral recipes, Billboard 100 hits and even a \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d cast member.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will either be the biggest headline-making nonevent in marketing history or the most shock to the system in the last decade,\u201d said Craig Brommers, chief marketing officer of the retailer American Eagle Outfitters.<\/p>\n
