TikTok is a social media platform for creating and sharing short videos and is now becoming a booming industry for live shopping. Wesconnex is on a mission to become the world’s go-to TikTok live shopping specialists by strategically facilitating brands to engage with their target audiences. It develops marketing channels to attract target customers, making content strategically tailored to their interests to create a community ready to be engaged and marketed to.

Sara Guo, chief executive officer of Wesconnex, said: “We are delighted and excited to move into our new space. The move represents both our early success as a company and the huge potential our business has. Being based amongst the buzz of the city centre and in a modern office and studio space provides our team with a place they want to work in and is important in supporting us to recruit the best talent. It is also the perfect home for the studio used for our flagship TikTok channel, The Female Formula.”
Centrick chairman James Ackrill said: “Investment by Hortons Estate has led to the creation of a wonderfully stylish office building right in the very heart of Birmingham city centre. It is no wonder that companies are attracted to 21 Bennetts Hill which combines the extremely attractive architectural style of years gone by with the very latest technology to provide a first class business environment.”
