Get my TikTok ad approved?

I’m planning on using tik tok as a channel for my e-commerce brand.

I have an ad I want to post, it uses several clips from other users spliced together. Each clip is about 1-3 seconds in length.

Tik tok doesn’t let reposted content run as ads, nor does it allow content with the tik tok watermark to run.

Is there any way I could get around this?

Download the videos without the watermark and you'll be fine. You've made a 'substantial change' to the content so you should be fine. Also, UGC is pretty common for TikTok ads so they're cool with it.

I don't know whether they have more restrictions for accounts without a client rep but you should be fine.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
