S7 Airlines has launched a TikTok mockumentary series. The heroes of the project are real passengers of S7 flights and professional TikTokers — Elizaveta Savchikhina, Pavel Ryazanov, Anastasia Borsuk, Aleksey Barsukov and Ruslan Sabelgera. In the brand's TikTok account, you can find funny videos about a man who flies for the first time in his life, about that very friend who loves to make plans, and a video about an anxious traveler who always worries that he forgot something.

To engage the audience in interaction with advertising content, TikTok has the Duet and Brand Effect tools. The platform has collected the best examples of their use in the past year.
