How to use a trend for your brand

01

Pick one that fits

Choose a trend your product can join without forcing it: the format matters more than the topic.

02

Watch the top examples

Note how they open, how long they run and where the payoff lands. That is the structure to keep.

03

Script it for your product

Write the hook, the demo and the call to action, or let YoTrends write a UGC ad script on that trend for you.

Questions

Where does this data come from?

From the TikTok videos YoTrends collects in the US English market. Videos on the same idea are grouped into trends, and each trend is ranked by how fast it is growing. The report is rebuilt every week.

What do the stages mean?

Emerging and growing trends are still gaining new videos; a trend at its peak has the most activity it is likely to get; a fading one is slowing down. The earlier the stage, the more room a brand has to stand out.

Can I track trends in my own niche?

Yes. Set your niche as a topic in YoTrends: it shows the angles rising there, with real examples, and writes a script for the one you pick. The free tier covers your first script.
