Social Media Strategy: Line OA vs. TikTok
By July 2026, two platforms dominate the Thai attention span: Line Official Account (OA) and TikTok. Both are essential, but they serve completely different purposes in your marketing funnel.
TikTok: The Discovery Engine
TikTok is for being Found. Its algorithm is world-class at showing your content to people who don't know you yet.
- The Strategy: Create high-energy, "Behind the Scenes" or "Educational" content. It's the top-tier of your funnel. If your factory has a cool automated arm, film it for TikTok.
Line OA: The Relationship Engine
Line is for being Trusted. It is where the actual business happens.
- The Strategy: Use Line OA for customer service, repeating orders, and 1-on-1 consultations. It is a "private" space where Thai customers feel safe asking about prices and delivery details.
The 2026 Hybrid Model
The most successful foreign firms use TikTok to drive traffic to their Line OA. You "entertain" them on TikTok, and you "close" the deal with a personal message on Line. In Thailand, if you aren't on Line, you effectively don't exist in the consumer's mind.
