The rapid advancement of technology has ushered us into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, emphasizing digitalization, automation, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced data analytics. This technological evolution has fostered the rise of social media, platforms for interaction, sharing, and content creation. TikTok, a leading platform, has become a potent tool for businesses to promote products and services by posting high-quality content.
