TikTok likewise recognized the relevance of creators who managed to make their business identities prosper by leveraging on the innovative solutions offered by TikTok Shop. 

The e-commerce platform of TikTok provided crucial support in building brand awareness and driving success for numerous creators, brands and businesses. Viy Cortez (viy.cortez), the CEO of Viyline Cosmetics and Viyline Skincare, is a prime example of a TikTok entrepreneur who has engaged audiences, built communities, and delivered exceptional products, rightfully regarded as this year’s Popular TikTok Shop Brand Owner.
