TikTok "Refugees" Flock to U.S. Owned Rival, Triller

High-Profile Creators Migrate to Triller as Platform Poised to Become 2025's Leading Short-Form Video App

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a remarkable shift in the social media landscape, Triller, the U.S.-owned short-form video platform, is experiencing an unprecedented surge in users, with top-tier creators migrating from TikTok in droves. Many creators are turning to Triller as a refuge amid concerns about TikTok's future and potential ban, seeking a new home for their viral content.

"Triller offers a safe, profitable environment for creators to thrive, free from the political and regulatory hurdles that have plagued other platforms," said Sean Kim, CEO of Triller App, the fast-growing video-sharing app that allows users to create and share 15-second videos set to music.

Artists and Creators Investing in the Future

Triller's rise is powered by the support of celebrity investors, including music industry icons such as Snoop Dogg, Marshmello, and The Chainsmokers. Their investment and continued advocacy have helped cement Triller as a creator-centric platform with deep roots in entertainment and music culture. The platform is also home to some of the most buzzworthy emerging talent, including Ice Spice, the rising rap sensation who built a massive following through Triller's unique blend of music and viral content.

"Music has always been in the DNA at Triller," said Melissa Phillippian, VP of Artist Relations at Triller. "With the support of our incredible investors and partners, we've worked tirelessly with Sean and our product team to create the best tools for artists, keeping them at the forefront of everything we do."

Sean Kim's Vision: A New Look, New Feel, and New Future

With Kim at the helm, Triller is reemerging with a fresh, user-friendly, and dynamic vision. Plans include enhancing features for a more immersive experience, such as AI-driven content creation tools, upgraded live-streaming options, and a revamped video editing suite.

"We're building something truly revolutionary - a platform that prioritizes creators first. As we look toward 2025, we're excited to expand our partnerships with brands, artists, and influencers, and explore new areas like AR and VR content creation," said Kim, a former TikTok executive.

With nearly 500,000+ videos uploaded in its first week, Triller's Save My TikToks has been hailed as a game-changer, offering creators peace of mind and a simple, secure way for TikTok users to ensure they can continue to engage with their followers and maintain their digital presence.
