This research project examines how short-form, engagement-focused TikTok advertisements are influencing traditional out-of-home (OOH) advertising strategies. By analyzing 30 TikTok ads and 30 OOH advertisements from major Canadian food brands, the study investigates differences in rhetorical appeals, emotional tone, and calls to action. The goal is to understand whether TikTok reflects a broader shift toward entertainment and audience engagement in advertising, and to explore how the OOH industry can adapt its campaigns to remain competitive and more emotionally and experientially impactful.
