Abstract

The rapid growth of social media has created new opportunities for Generation Z entrepreneurs to build business identity and brand image through digital content. One of the most popular platforms among this generation is TikTok, a short-form video platform characterized by high interactivity and strong viral potential. TikTok is not only used as an entertainment medium but also as a strategic tool for developing business personal branding. However, the utilization of TikTok by Generation Z entrepreneurs has not yet been optimal, particularly in implementing structured and consistent content marketing strategies. This study aims to analyze the use of TikTok and content marketing strategies in building personal branding among Generation Z entrepreneurs. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review approach, examining various academic sources, research articles, and relevant reports related to digital marketing and social media. The findings indicate that effective personal branding on TikTok is strongly influenced by the ability to create creative, authentic, informative, and audience-relevant content. In addition, consistency in content uploads and the effective use of TikTok features contribute to increased audience engagement, consumer trust, and business reach. This study is expected to provide insights and practical references for Generation Z entrepreneurs in designing effective and sustainable digital branding strategies in the creative economy era.
