TikTok ads examples

What these three ads have in common

  1. They are short. 12, 15 and 30 seconds. Two of the three finish in a quarter of a minute.
  2. They speak the market’s language. Two captions are in Indonesian and Portuguese, written for one or two countries.
  3. They open on a moment, not the product. MILO starts with a kid’s badminton game and Gemini with a joke about office types.
  4. One ran wide. Bio-Oil’s ad appeared in 12 markets across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Three ads are a small sample. Read them as examples to study, not as rules.

Questions about TikTok top ads

Does this show how much an ad spent?

No. Creative Center’s public Top Ads list shows views, the markets an ad ran in and its length. TikTok publishes no ad spend there, and the tool doesn’t estimate one.

Why are there only a few ads?

The public Top Ads list TikTok serves is short and changes daily: it held 4 ads on 8 October 2026. For the full gallery, filtered by region, industry and objective, use the Top Ads page in TikTok’s Creative Center.

How does the industry search work?

TikTok doesn’t tag industry in its public list, so the tool matches your word, and close words for common industries, against each ad’s text. Ads that don’t match are still listed after the ones that do.

Is this the same as the TikTok Ad Library?

No. The Ad Library is TikTok’s transparency archive of ads shown in Europe, searchable by advertiser. Top Ads is a showcase of high-performing ads that advertisers agreed to feature. Use the Library to see what a competitor runs, and Top Ads to study creative that worked.
