Nics – Creator Engagement Manager

Hi everyone!

I’m Nicky, and it’s nice to meet you all.

My TikTok journey started in 2021, and I was just posting fun, silly little videos sometimes – but mostly scrolling through my fyp and finding funny videos to make me laugh, or cute animals or other interesting things.

Then I started a business on TikTok, making personalised items for people on TikTok live. It went so well, and I was streaming live regularly.

Mental health and real life happened, and I stopped all of it. When I came back to TikTok around Christmas, I was overwhelmed with the kindness and support I was shown from my little corner of TikTok; my community. I’ve stayed on there since then, and have made 2 different accounts in addition. One is for my weight loss journey (I’m on mounjaro!) and one is for my gaming. I stream regularly on my gaming account, playing cosy games, building a community and recognising those that have supported me from the very beginning. I have a huge community over on another app, which I’ve bought over to TT, and it’s just brilliant.

Doing all of this, and knowing Felix in real life has bought the opportunity to come and join the Optimum family. We’ve worked together in the past with other projects, and he knows my creativity levels!
I am excited for this community to grow, and will always make people feel valued, appreciated and supported if you need any help with your own TikTok journey.

So excited to meet you all!

Beth – Creator Engagement Manager

Hello, nice to meet you, I am Beth. My TikTok journey started probably like most people when Covid was around. At first, I wasn’t really using the app; it was more of a scroll to pass the time. This changed quite quickly when I met Jonjo back in late 2023. I was the silent watcher who just tapped the screen for a while, and now I take part in community games / events.

Joining the community has allowed me to meet so many amazing people, allowed me to grow my confidence, and be a little more extroverted.

Being part of the community has also given me the opportunity to be part of Optimum. I will continue to make others feel welcome and heard if you have any concerns or questions about your own TikTok journey.

Looking forward to meeting and chatting with you all.

Felix – Co-Owner

I’m Felix a Co-Owner with Jonjo.

My journey on TikTok started a few years ago, I had moved countries, was lonely, and so started browsing TikTok, it was fun, passed some time, and meant I could speak to English people without having to worry about what I was saying and translating.

It was a difficult period of time, and one day I randomly just sent someone a gift, the way their face lit up, made me smile and forget all my problems. That showed me just how different a simple act of random kindness can do to make someone’s days.

Since that day I’ve always wanted to use TikTok to make a difference. It’s not even about gifting, it’s about spending time with people, asking about their day, making them know they are not alone, little things like that make so much difference. Kindness breeds kindness.

TikTok is also very negative, so much bitterness from some people, I think that’s because they may be sad, so pass that sadness on to others, a few times I’ve wanted to completely leave the app, but because of the nice people I have stayed, and grown. I didn’t even use to go live, now with confidence of my friends on TikTok I go live, and enjoy hours of streaming, and doing well. TikTok is for anyone.

So how did the Agency come about, well I bumped in Jonjo a long time ago, didn’t really get him, or understand him, and then one day I took the time to spend time in his live, and we just hit it off immediately, and become friends. I was an Administrator for another Agency and Jonjo became a Manager in that Agency. We then decided that we have a different outlook, we don’t want to do this for money, we want to help change lives. So that’s where Optimum Creator Network came from, a chat with a Vodka and we decided we are going to help others benefit from TikTok like we have.

This is a long journey, running any business is hard, but doing it with my best friend, makes it all so simpler.

Jonjo – Co-Owner

hey im jonjo co owner of optimum, i started my journey on tiktok 3 years ago after hearing the life changing things it can provide, before my tiktok journey i was homeless and in a very bad place. i needed a escape from the real world, i started tiktok joking around with friends just being me not knowing the difference it would make to my life. i started going live just eating food doing food challenges like the hot chip and the words spiciest noodles. when i started tiktok i didnt even know you could earn money from it, i just enjoyed knowing i made people smile, after a year on tiktok i started building a beautiful community who supported me for me.

i started doing battles and finding like mind people like myself. another year had past of me going live constantly everyday being me, dancing around, going supermarkets doing pranks, one night in january i was doing a battle and someone put me in the weekly rankings number one, id never seen anything like this universes flying accross my screen, 55 to be exact. this was life changing, id never seen sort of money. this helped me buy a better phone it helped me pay rent, buy nice things.

one thing i can say about my tiktok journey its not been easy lots of loses but lots of wins, staying humble was the main thing and coming back stronger was my only option, so if your ever reading this and you want something in life work hard for it, stay committed but have fun, chase your dreams, set yourself goals and strive for success, 3 years later im co owner with my bestfriend owning a agency where we wanna help others on the same journey i had.
