Shopify's Feature Showcase, 24M+ views
This TikTok video from Shopify shows a woman demonstrating four new platform features. She explains each tool using clear visuals and simple language, moving from Shopify Subscriptions to AI-powered search features.
The video works because it delivers massive value super fast.
The "4 new things" hook sets clear expectations and the countdown format keeps people watching until the end. Each feature gets explained with actual UI mockups, not just words.
What makes this different from boring product updates is how it shows benefits, not just features. She doesn't just say "AI image editing" - she shows boots getting new backgrounds instantly and says "no design skills necessary." That hits the pain point directly.
The presenter talks straight to camera with energy but stays professional.
The whole thing feels like getting insider tips from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
People would save this to reference later or share it with business partners.

The Entrepreneurial Leap, 170M+ views
This TikTok from Shopify tells the story of a teacher who launched her business. It starts with her stress on launch day, shows the countdown timer on her website, then captures her raw reaction to getting her first sale.
The emotional buildup is everything here. You see her at her mom's house, too nervous to eat, staring at a countdown with 12 minutes left.
Then that "cha-ching" sound hits and she completely loses it - screaming into a pillow, covering her face. That moment is pure gold.
People connect with the underdog story and the authentic emotion.
The quick montage showing her quitting teaching the next month and packing orders gives you the full transformation in seconds. It's one of the classic viral formats we have noticed.
The video doesn't just tell you about success - it shows you the exact moment someone's life changed. That emotional peak makes people want to share the feeling with others who need motivation.

Entrepreneurial Quick Wins, 1M+ views
This TikTok from Qonto features a young guy giving three pieces of business advice. He starts by acknowledging how hard starting a business is, then shares tips like "stop overthinking" and "collaboration over competition."
The "refreshing Indeed for the hundredth time" line is what hooks people. Anyone stuck in job search hell immediately gets it.
The quick zoom transitions between each tip keep the energy high and prevent people from scrolling away.
The advice isn't revolutionary, but the delivery makes it feel fresh. He talks like he's giving you a pep talk, not reading from a script.
The text overlays help people who watch without sound, which is huge on TikTok.
People probably comment because they relate to the job search struggle or want to argue about the tips.
The "hit the follow button" call to action at the end works because people feel like they just got value for free.

The Accidental Eavesdrop Tutorial, 5.5M+ views
This TikTok from Canva shows a screen recording of someone creating an animation, but the audio is completely unrelated - two women having a casual conversation about height and wearing heels.
The disconnect between what you're seeing and hearing creates this weird curiosity. You keep watching to figure out if there's a connection or if someone just messed up the audio. That confusion drives watch time through the roof.
The conversation feels so real and relatable.
The height envy and "I think I'm shrinking" comments hit home for a lot of people. It doesn't sound like a planned voiceover - it sounds like you're accidentally listening in on friends.
This pattern keeps popping up in our breakdowns of viral content.
People share this not for the Canva tutorial but because the random conversation is charming and familiar.
@canva Creating your own animation in Canva is ✨very nice✨

Empowerment in Action, 2.1M+ views
This TikTok from GoDaddy starts with a woman giving a pep talk to aspiring female entrepreneurs, then transitions to a screen recording where she creates an empowering graphic design.
The hook "For every woman who wants to start a business" immediately filters the audience.
Then she validates their frustrations about people saying business is "too risky." This creates an instant ally relationship.
The design demo happens fast - searching "women's day," picking a graphic, adding "YOU GO GIRL" text. But it's not just showing a tool, it's demonstrating how to create something that matches the motivational message she just gave.
The line "risk and fear are temporary, regrets are forever" is super quotable.
People would share this with friends who need encouragement or bookmark it when they need motivation later.

The Micro-Tutorial Powerhouse, 25M+ views
This TikTok from Shopify shows exactly how to give a customer store credit in under 30 seconds.
The creator navigates through the Shopify dashboard step by step, from selecting a customer to adding the credit amount.
The promise of "under 30 seconds" isn't just marketing - it's a commitment that shapes the entire video. No fluff, no long intro, just pure value delivered fast. This respects people's time and creates high completion rates.
For Shopify users, this solves a real problem with zero cognitive load. You see exactly where to click, what to type, and what the result looks like.
The screen recording removes all guesswork.
People would definitely save this to reference later when they need to actually do this task. It's too useful not to bookmark.
The brevity also makes it easy to send to teammates who might need to know this process.

The Font Showcase Funnel, 8M+ views
This TikTok from GoDaddy displays trending fonts for 2022, showing each typeface with aesthetic backgrounds and suggesting complementary fonts. It ends by revealing all fonts are available in GoDaddy Studio.
The "2022 TRENDING" hook immediately signals valuable, current information.
The rapid-fire showcase of different fonts with beautiful backgrounds creates this satisfying visual rhythm that keeps people watching.
Each font gets its own personality through the background choice - florals, gradients, iridescent textures.
The pairing suggestions (like showing a display font with a body font) add practical value for actual designers.
The chill, repetitive music creates this hypnotic effect that makes the whole thing feel like aesthetic content, not an ad.
People would share this because it genuinely helps with design decisions and the fonts look cool.

The Ocean Spray Ripple Effect, 2M+ views
This TikTok from Shopify references the viral Nathan Apodaca skating video, then reveals that Ocean Spray is actually a cooperative of 700+ family farmers, not a big corporation.
The "we all obviously know THIS" opening immediately connects with viewers through shared cultural knowledge.
Then "but... do you know about this?" creates a perfect curiosity gap that keeps people watching.
Learning that Ocean Spray is farmer-owned completely reframes the brand. It transforms a viral moment into a feel-good story about supporting small businesses.
The sales data showing the positive impact makes it even more satisfying.
For us, it looks very familiar, because it's a proven format we've documented many times.
People would share this because it's positive news about a brand they thought they knew, and it makes them feel good about viral culture having real impact.

The Unresolved Utility Hook, 9M+ views
This TikTok from Canva shows someone starting to use the "summarize text" AI tool, but cuts off right before showing the result.
The audio says "I'm trying to process a tremendous amount of insane information."
The unresolved ending is brilliant manipulation of curiosity.
People watch expecting to see the AI summary result, but the video ends right when they click "Summarizing text..." This creates massive engagement as people demand the conclusion.
The tool addresses a real pain point - information overload.
The audio perfectly matches what the tool is supposed to solve, making the demo instantly understandable without explanation.
People probably comment asking "what happened next?" or sharing their own experiences with AI tools.
The cliffhanger transforms a simple feature demo into something that demands interaction.

The All-Seeing Slackbot, 0.36M+ views
This TikTok from Slack personifies the Slack notification as an all-knowing entity that warns a distracted worker about an upcoming project deadline, then offers helpful tips.
The Slack notification sound immediately grounds anyone who uses the platform.
Then having the notification "speak" with the creator's face superimposed on the Slack logo creates this memorable, slightly unsettling character.
The specific details like "Management Channel" and the overdue project hit close to home for office workers.
The conspiratorial "you didn't hear it from me" tone adds personality and humor to a typically sterile work tool.
The transition from nagging to helpful (offering the keyword tip) gives the "character" depth.
People would share this with coworkers who would appreciate the office humor and the actual Slack tip.
@slackhq Why Slackbot, you’re so…helpful. @CorporateDumpsterFire ♬ original sound - Slack
Small Business Marketing 101, 1M+ views
This TikTok from Qonto uses a bakery analogy to explain different marketing concepts in under 60 seconds. A timer in the corner adds urgency as he defines advertising, sales, promotion, and PR through simple examples.
The countdown timer creates immediate pressure and commitment.
People want to see if he actually delivers on the promise before time runs out.
The bakery examples make abstract marketing concepts instantly graspable.
Breaking down "marketing" into specific actions (sending flyers = advertising, weekend-only offer = sales) removes the intimidation factor. Small business owners probably feel empowered rather than overwhelmed after watching.
The rapid pace means no dead air to lose attention. Each concept gets a clean example that people can immediately understand and apply to their own business situation.

The "Gen Z Script" Effect, 0.8M+ views
This TikTok from Qonto shows a professional product manager delivering a corporate script written entirely in Gen Z slang. He explains business features using terms like "bestie," "slay," and "delulu."
The humor comes from the contrast - a suited professional earnestly saying "it's giving boss vibes" while explaining invoicing features. He commits completely to the bit without winking at the camera, which makes it funnier.
The slang isn't just sprinkled in - it IS the script. Terms like "no more delulu just pure cash flow clarity" actually communicate the benefit while being ridiculous.
The quick location changes keep visual interest high.
Different generations get different things from this. Gen Z finds it hilarious to hear their language in corporate speak, while older viewers enjoy the awkwardness.
People would definitely share this with colleagues for the office humor.

Hi Barbie Hi Ken, 4M+ views
This TikTok from Canva uses the recognizable "Hi Barbie, Hi Ken" audio from the Barbie movie while showing Canva element keywords for Barbiecore-themed designs.
The audio hook is instant recognition and positive association with the biggest cultural moment of that time.
The trending audio stops people from scrolling before they even see what the content is about.
The keywords get displayed rapid-fire, creating high information density that requires multiple watches or pauses to absorb everything. This behavior directly inflates watch time and retention rates.
It's a recurring element we've seen in multiple viral case studies.
People would save this for practical use or share it with other creators trying to capitalize on the Barbie trend.

The Relatable Rush to Relief, 1.9M+ views
This TikTok from GoDaddy shows a stressed content creator transforming into a cool, confident person after discovering the GoDaddy Studio app.
The dramatic before-and-after uses contrasting visuals and audio.
The initial panic ("Oh god, I'll never make it this time!") instantly connects with anyone feeling overwhelmed by deadlines.
The theatrical delivery makes the stress relatable and shareable rather than depressing.
The transformation is visually stark - from frantic energy to cool sunglasses and leather jacket.
The audio shift from panic to dismissive "Anyway..." reinforces the emotional change and provides satisfying resolution.
At six seconds, it's extremely rewatchable and demands minimal time commitment.
People would share this with other creators who feel the same content pressure or save it as a mood.

Canva's Instant Color Palette Hack, 6.6M+ views
This TikTok from Canva demonstrates dragging an image onto a design and using "Apply colors to page" to instantly update the entire color scheme to match the image.

This solves a huge pain point for non-designers who struggle with color coordination.

Canva Keyword Goldmine, 2.2M+ views
This TikTok from Canva shows part 2 of element keywords, starting with social proof from a user comment requesting it.
The enthusiastic "Ooooh, this is nice! Girl!" audio plays as floral graphics appear.
Starting with "Part 2" and the user comment creates immediate validation that this content is wanted and valuable.
The trending audio adds entertainment value to what could be a dry tutorial.
The audio timing is perfect - the excited "this is nice!" coincides with revealing beautiful floral elements, creating positive reinforcement. Each keyword reveal becomes a mini reward loop.
The rapid pace means people need to rewatch or take notes, boosting engagement metrics.
People would share this with other Canva users or save it for their own design projects.

The Canva "Magic Write" Love Language Spark, 5.1M+ views
This TikTok from Canva shows someone using Magic Write to create a poem for their work bestie, then cuts to the friend genuinely laughing at the result.
The "work bestie" concept is instantly relatable and the "love language" framing makes AI feel warm and personal instead of cold and technical.
The emotional payoff comes from seeing genuine human joy.
The demo shows exactly how easy the tool is - just type a request and get a formatted poem. But more importantly, it shows the human impact: making someone laugh and feel appreciated.
People would try this themselves or share it with their own work friends.
The combination of utility (how to use the tool) and emotional outcome (friendship/joy) makes it highly shareable.

Puppy-Powered Social Magnet, 0.8M+ views
This TikTok from Runna shows someone bringing a dachshund puppy to a singles run club, with everyone immediately gravitating toward the dog and its owner.
The puppy acts as the ultimate social catalyst. Watching three people instantly become interested and engaged proves the concept in real time.
The cuteness factor is universal and immediately triggers positive emotions.
For single people, this presents a low-pressure way to meet others through a shared love of dogs and running.
The scenario feels authentic rather than staged, which makes the "hack" more credible.
People would share this with single friends as a suggestion or save it as motivation to get a dog.
The combination of cute animal content and practical dating advice hits multiple sharing triggers.

The Financial Yo-Yo and the Walking Reward, 1M+ views
This TikTok from Stepler starts with chaotic budget calculator math showing massive overspending, then smoothly transitions to the simple reward of earning money for walking.
The frantic calculator sequence visually dramatizes how budgets spiral out of control.
The rapid button mashing and huge negative number make financial stress both relatable and slightly funny through exaggeration.
The contrast is everything - chaotic music and frustrated budgeting versus upbeat music and easy rewards.
The Stepler app appears as an effortless alternative to financial struggle.
People would relate to the budget stress and be curious about an app that pays you for something you already do.
The problem-solution format makes the app feel like a relief rather than another thing to download.
@steplerapp Getting rewarded have never been easier! Do not take one more step before you’ve downloaded the Stepler app! 🏃🏃 #walking #steplerapp #rewards ♬
The Unanswered Question, 2.4M+ views
This TikTok from Runna shows a runner during a race asking viewers to share the most "unhinged" thing they've done on a long run, but never provides an answer herself.
The direct question creates a curiosity gap that can only be filled by the comments section. By specifically ruling out common answers (gels, music), she demands actually interesting stories.
The video deliberately doesn't provide resolution, transforming viewers into content creators.
People have to engage in the comments to get the payoff they're looking for.
The running community would share their own wild stories or tag friends to contribute.
The open loop forces interaction and creates a cascade of user-generated content in the comments.

Running Truths, 1M+ views
This TikTok from Strava features a "realistic runner" giving hot takes that validate casual runners, like saying you don't need to run marathons to be a runner and that pace doesn't matter.
Each "hot take" directly addresses common insecurities in the running community. Telling people they're valid runners regardless of pace or distance provides massive emotional relief for casual runners.
The specific mention of "thigh chafing" and biker shorts adds relatable humor while solving a real problem.
The energy and confidence in delivery makes the validation feel authoritative.
People would share this for the inclusivity message or to validate friends who feel intimidated by running culture.
The permission-giving nature makes it highly shareable among supportive communities.

The specific distance (159km) and proximity to finish (1km away) create incredible stakes. She's so close but visibly struggling, which creates investment in whether she'll make it.
Seeing the community rally around her shifts the narrative from individual struggle to collective support.
The finish line moment provides emotional release for viewers who've been rooting for her.

Airport Sprint, 1M+ views
This TikTok from Strava shows someone attempting a Strava segment through Denver International Airport, including the "no hands" train challenge and sprinting through terminals.
The premise is inherently absurd - treating an airport like an athletic venue.
The unexpected context creates humor and novelty that makes people want to see how it plays out.
The train balancing scene is relatable (many have tried this) while mocking "posers" who hold on creates an "us vs them" dynamic.
The employee reactions add authenticity and humor.
The specific challenge (under 20 seconds, 0.10 miles) gamifies the experience and provides clear stakes.
People would share this for the creative absurdity and might be inspired to find weird Strava segments themselves.

The blunt "dreadful" opening creates an instant hook while the promise to "perfect it" provides clear value. Each correction follows a problem-solution format with helpful graphics.
The red X / green checkmark graphics make complex biomechanics instantly understandable. Seeing Anya's form improve in real-time proves the advice works.
Runners would save this as a reference guide or share it with friends who need form help.
The comprehensive but concise breakdown makes it feel like getting professional coaching for free.

The Unveiling of an Ultra-Runner's Foot, 1.1M+ views

The sock peeling creates anticipation and the "gross-out" payoff delivers a visceral reaction.
The onlookers' gasps validate the viewer's own response and amplify the shock.
For ultra runners, this is uncomfortably familiar reality. For others, it's a window into the extreme physical toll of endurance sports.
The runner's laughter makes it more palatable.
People would share this for the shock value or to show non-runners what ultra racing really involves.
