TikTok introduced Smart+ Creative Selection on 5 October at Advertising Week New York. It combines advertiser assets, Symphony-generated creative and creator content in a single approval workflow.

Based on TikTok ·

Recommendations meet approval

TikTok says the feature recommends creative groups for a business and campaign objective while advertisers control what goes live. The newsroom post does not provide country-level eligibility for Creative Selection.

Each update has its own scope

The same announcement introduces TikTok Ad Network to US advertisers and expands MCP connector support across AI platforms. Those statements do not establish European access to every new feature.

For marketers

Our reading: bringing assets into one queue could simplify review, provided teams keep permissions, product claims and version history visible for each asset. A recommended group still needs a clear owner for approval.

Your next move

Check access in the relevant ad account and define who approves each creative source before using the workflow.
