1. Mashups

Mashup videos consist of a creator sharing quick mixes of songs blending into one another as they take viewers from one to the next. 

Tactics to Implement:

• Video Length: These videos average at about 14 seconds in length.
• Introduction: Since these videos are quick in nature, there are generally no introductions. The video starts right away and creators use TikTok’s text features to tell a story about the song selection. 
• Genres & Ages Collide: Top performing videos tend to take pop-leaning songs and mash them up into more electronic forward songs. In this video, the creator mashes up songs from 2021 and 2004, bringing two ages together. 

Content Opportunities:

• It would be interesting to challenge artists to tell a story through mashups. The top performing videos use mashups to compare different music across generations but artists could use them in a series to describe moments and emotions. There is a lack of electronic-focused mashups.
