What we do
Does your media buying team need a fresh perspective, including a suitable external strategy, for several months? Then you've come to the right place. We promise: We won't touch your campaigns (unless you want us to).
Do you want Pineroll to fully manage your campaigns and get the most out of creatives, catalogs & strategy? That's what the Media Buying Offer is for.
You think your campaigns can do more, but you're not quite sure where, how, and what to tackle first? We'll go through all the areas together with you.
Pineroll gives you access to 10,000+ creators across categories, from doctors and niche experts to broader culture voices. We bring creators and influencers into your campaigns, brief them, manage them, and turn the output into performance-ready creative systems.
F1 speed from strategy to data feed to creator sourcing to hundreds of sales per day. Pineroll builds the full TikTok Shop operating layer: strategy, product feed, creator sourcing, creator operations, offer logic, and messaging upgrades for daily scale.
TikTok Live is still massively underused and absurdly efficient for reach. We use it to promote your products, TikTok Shop offers, or linked Amazon products while building trust and demand at costs most brands underestimate.
Your core expertise lies in Meta and Google, but your clients demand expertise in TikTok? With Pineroll's white-label solution, we work within your clients' ad accounts.
Do you need a sophisticated strategy for your launch, relaunch, or want to ignite the next phase on TikTok and engage multiple teams on-site? We'll work with you to develop the right strategy.
Our Working
We work alongside your team, set measurable milestones, optimise fast, and build toward full ownership inside your business.
We first take a close look at where you currently stand, what your goals are, and how we can support you as your TikTok growth partner. We always think holistically: from TikTok ads to your shop and creator bookings.
Together we define our goals for the next 3, 6, or 12 months and which milestones we want to celebrate along the way, always based on your business metrics. We rely on data and testing rather than guesswork.
We optimise your campaigns almost daily, aligned with your KPIs and the rest of your marketing mix. TikTok is never a silo for us - it is part of a full-funnel strategy focused on profitable growth, not vanity metrics.
As a growth partner we work directly in your ad accounts - all data stays with you and your team builds real in-house knowledge. Our long-term goal is clear: you become independent and fully in-house.

FAQ
Short answers on audience, reach, expected outcomes, budget, and measurement so you can judge whether TikTok deserves a real operating model in your business.
No. TikTok is no longer a Gen Z-only platform. Depending on the market, brands can reach broad age groups across Germany, DACH, Europe, the UK, and the US. What matters more than age stereotypes is whether the offer, creative format, and media setup are built for the platform.
Businesses should use TikTok because it can connect discovery, consideration, creator proof, and conversion inside one ecosystem. For many brands it is not just a brand channel anymore. It is a real performance, commerce, and content operating system when strategy, media buying, creator sourcing, and measurement are connected properly.
Results depend on the category, offer, and creative volume, but companies should expect to improve learning speed first, then creative efficiency, then commercial output. In practice that can mean lower cost to reach, stronger cost-to-video-view efficiency, more qualified traffic, stronger creator output, and eventually more sales when the system is scaled consistently.
TikTok offers meaningful addressable reach across Germany, the wider DACH region, Europe, the UK, and the US. The exact reachable audience depends on your category, targeting, language, and creative quality, but for most brands the issue is rarely lack of audience. The real bottleneck is building enough native creative and measurement discipline to reach the right people repeatedly.
For serious testing, most brands should plan enough budget to support both media and creative iteration. In many cases that means at least €5,000 per month for early learning and a larger range of €15,000 to €30,000 per month when the goal is stable scaling. The exact number matters less than whether budget is protected for testing new hooks, creators, and offers.
Initial signals usually appear within 48 to 72 hours, but meaningful optimization needs more time. Most teams need 7 to 14 days of data for stronger decisions and 4 to 6 weeks of continuous iteration before the account starts behaving like a real growth system.
TikTok ROI should not be judged only by platform-reported conversion numbers. The stronger setup combines platform reporting with server-side tracking, UTMs, landing-page behavior, blended revenue analysis, and a realistic view of contribution margin. Pineroll usually treats measurement as an operating layer, not a dashboard exercise.
