In recent years, video platforms have not only created new entertainment habits, but also shaped a \"norm\" for global content consumption. \u201cTikTokification\u201d <\/strong>was created to describe this phenomenon: when short, vertical, personalized, and instantly engaging video becomes the norm for how users discover, entertain, and even shop.<\/p>\n

\"|\"<\/figure>\n

Background and rise of \u201cTikTokification\u201d<\/h2>\n

Retail Media Network (RMN)<\/strong>, also known as the retail industry media network, is an advertising ecosystem built directly on the data platform and retail channels. \u201cRetail Media 2.0\u201d<\/em><\/strong> belong to MMA<\/strong> coordinate together Amazon Ads<\/strong> February 2025 recorded that the global retail media budget reached a milestone 45 billion USD <\/strong>and is expected to surpass investment in television advertising by 2028, becoming the fastest growing advertising segment.<\/p>\n

\"|\"<\/figure>\n

Currently, RMN operates mainly based on traditional advertising formats such as banners, search ads or static carousels.<\/p>\n

However, the rise of short videos has opened up a new opportunity that makes product discovery behavior no longer linear but guided directly by content.<\/p>\n

According to Colin Lewis<\/strong>, retail media expert, Director at Retail MediaWorks<\/strong> and Editor-in-Chief of Retail Media Internet Retailing<\/strong>, videos deliver huge impact, like a \u201cmotivation creates demand\u201d.<\/em> He emphasized:\u201cTikTok combines discovery and conversion in one experience creating a completely new dynamic, because before there was always a gap between discovery and purchase.\u201d<\/em> Lewis also believes that the development of high-quality screens and 5G networks is the trigger for this trend, something that was not possible 5 or 10 years ago.<\/p>\n

However, most of RMN's traditional formats have not been designed for this world.<\/p>\n

Principles for applying the word \u201cTikTokification\u201d to retail communications<\/h2>\n

1. Prioritize authenticity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the retail media landscape, authenticity has become a key factor, especially for younger generations of consumers, who are sensitive to forced advertising content.<\/p>\n

However, most RMNs today still operate according to the traditional model, depending on advertising assets provided by brands or agencies.<\/p>\n

\"|\"<\/figure>\n

Viv Craske, Retail Media and Digital Commerce expert<\/strong>, commented: \"Every time you compare a professionally produced ad to a TikTok feed, the difference becomes clear. The challenge for agencies, retailers and brands is to create authentic content that fits the retail media environment.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

This creates an urgent need: RMN's creative processes need to be restructured to prioritize authenticity.<\/p>\n

With RMN, integrating native video, expanding vertical formats, and promoting storytelling content not only enhances campaign effectiveness but also helps the system remain competitive in a media environment that is increasingly focused on user experience.<\/p>\n

2. Expand your influence as a communication channel<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The role of influencers is increasingly recognized in lean marketing strategies, replacing mass advertising with personalized and localized approaches. Fernando Fernandez, new CEO of Unilever<\/strong> from 2025<\/strong> commented on the role of influencers and new marketing approaches <\/em>this is it \u201ca system of marketing activities in which other people can represent the brand on a large scale\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

To make the most of this potential, RMN needs to learn from social media platforms on how to operate a creative marketplace where it is easy to select and connect with content creators.<\/p>\n

A typical example is Walmart Connect<\/strong>, the retail media network of Walmart<\/strong> in America. Walmart Connect<\/strong> has started developing the platform Walmart Creator <\/strong>Integrate creators and influencers into your communication strategy, not just with banners or traditional search ads. Walmart<\/strong>, this RMN can provide shopping experiences through realistic and interactive short videos right in its environment.<\/p>\n

Financial statements for fiscal year 2025 (ending January 2025) show the consolidated revenue of Walmart<\/strong> reaching approx 681 billion USD<\/strong>. Walmart Connect<\/strong> 2024 has brought 4.4 billion USD<\/strong> revenue with profit margin ~70%<\/strong>, contributed approx 10% <\/strong>Walmart's operating profit, and expected to increase 16%<\/strong> in 2027. This shows Walmart<\/strong> is making good use of digital advertising platforms and the support of creators\/influencers in the retail network.<\/p>\n

\"|\"<\/figure>\n

3. Create \u201cshoppable\u201d direct shopping capabilities<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The concept of the \u201cadd to cart\u201d button as a call to action (CTA) in digital advertising has existed for a long time, but has not been widely implemented in the past. Viv Craske<\/strong> shows important changes: \"Today, we realize that every piece of content needs to be clickable and instantly buyable. Users need the ability to click through and be presented with a full range of product options from a retailer. This is a key opportunity for retail media: they can leverage offsite channels, but at the same time ensure that each piece of content leads the consumer directly back to the store to complete the transaction.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

The ability to \u201cshopp\u201d any content format reflects a shift in consumer behavior that prioritizes immediacy.<\/p>\n

\"|\"<\/figure>\n

In the Vietnamese market, Shopee<\/strong> and Lazada<\/strong> are good examples of RMNs that have implemented an effective \u201cshoppable\u201d mechanism.
This not only creates a seamless customer journey, but also helps retailers leverage first-party data to personalize the experience.<\/p>\n

If in the early stages, RMN simply exploited advertising space in the retail ecosystem, now, they have become a direct bridge between inspiration and shopping action.<\/p>\n

In the era of \"TikTokification\", retail media is no longer a digital billboard along the shopping street, but a living media-commerce ecosystem, where every video, every story can become an order.<\/p>\n
