The Challenge

The Challenge

The Challenge

Trip.com Group, parent company of Skyscanner and China’s largest online travel agency, needed to build a TikTok presence from scratch.

The challenge? Engage a UK and US audience aged 25 to 45 in a crowded travel space, with content that felt fresh, relevant, and native to the platform.

The Strategy

The Strategy

The Strategy

We created a content engine rooted in street-level relatability and platform-native storytelling, built to entertain, educate, and expand reach fast.

Creator Selection

Used Z MEDIA®’s in-house creators and street interviewers to drive authentic, public-facing content.

Focused on travel enthusiasts and conversationalists who could create spontaneous, engaging reactions.

Prioritized creators who could deliver both scripted and reactive formats with personality.

Content Strategy

Developed a recurring mix of street interviews, behind-the-scenes office content, and travel hacks.

Hooked viewers with bold Qs (“Where’s the most overrated city you’ve visited?”) and rapid-fire delivery.

Kept formats flexible to test humour, insight, and cultural trends in real time.

Visual + Narrative Execution

Shot content in public spaces, offices, and creator homes to diversify tone and backdrop.

Edited for short attention spans: fast cuts, dynamic subtitles, native music.

Focused on edutainment, always useful, always scroll-stopping.

Optimization

Posted 3x weekly with a consistent tone of voice and visual aesthetic.

Boosted top-performing content with paid spend to maximise reach.

Built data feedback loops into production to refine scripts and hook formulas.
