【About 「FanSpot byGMO」】(URL:https://www.fanspot.jp/

“FanSpot byGMO” is a tool that enables advertisers to run campaigns such as receipt-based entries, quizzes, and social media post campaigns on platforms like TikTok, LINE, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram. With just one click, participants can link their accounts and automatically create a personalized My Page.
Using this My Page functionality, advertisers can visualize campaign participation, manage user behavior data in one place, and analyze engagement. Based on participants’ activity data, advertisers can assign ranks or rewards to drive participation and nurture long-term fan engagement.
In this way, “FanSpot byGMO” allows advertisers to easily build mileage-based fan programs and continuously increase user engagement across social media platforms.

【Background of Providing 「FanSpot byGMO for TikTok」】

TikTok has gained widespread support among users around the world, particularly younger generations, as a short-form video sharing platform. With its high user engagement, more advertisers are utilizing TikTok for promotional purposes.
Instant-win campaigns, where users can immediately find out the result of a lottery after entering, tend to have high participation rates. However, traditional instant-win campaigns on TikTok were not integrated with TikTok's Business Messaging API. As a result, users had to check the lottery results on external websites, creating an inconvenient experience of navigating between the TikTok app and external sites.
To help advertisers attract more participants, a seamless and simple entry process was necessary. This led to the launch of this new service, which allows the entire campaign experience to be completed within the TikTok app.
At GMO UniteX, we have provided SNS marketing-focused support, including offering "FanSpot byGMO", managing social media accounts, and planning and operating campaigns. Due to the recognition of these achievements, we have successfully become the first in the world to integrate TikTok’s Business Messaging API with "FanSpot byGMO for TikTok", making it possible to offer a fully in-app instant-win campaign on TikTok.
