TikTok has become one of the fastest growing social media platforms in the last few years. It has created many influencers and also become another way for businesses to market themselves. The Smithy Family TikTok account was created by Nick and has grown his following to over 2 million since he created the account.
The Smithy Family have decided to open their own merchandise shop selling branded hoodies, hats, accessories and more. Nick didn’t have the best start to life but has overcome many hurdles. After meeting Jess and having two beautiful girls, with another bundle of joy on the way, Nick believes that the world is what you make it. So with the help of EKM, he’s making his and his family’s viral dreams come true. Let’s hear more about Nick and his story to viral fame on TikTok.
Introduce yourself and The Smithy Family, what was your motivation behind starting your TikTok account and what do you do?
They joined Tiktok as their daughter Belles would no longer let them use her account. With Nick having ADHD putting all his emotions and expressions into each and every video has really helped him. When his followers started to grow this made him want to start giving to the public more and by doing this he organised charity events, created the anti-bullying wall, arranged mothers day hamper so people from all three platforms, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok were able to win. The family are now working with the salvation army to ensure a child doesn’t go without this Easter and will wake up to at least 1 egg on Easter morning.
