clancy's auto body shop tiktok
A viral cat meme helped Joel Velazquez make a name for Clancy's Auto Body Shop on TikTok.
  • Two businesses went viral with their first videos posted to TikTok, and their content is pretty similar.
  • Both videos were posted by social media managers claiming to need views to stay out of trouble with their boss.
  • The videos garnered millions of views and an outpour of support, but one marketing professional says it's likely a business tactic.

If you're a social media manager wondering how you can grow your brand's online audience, recent posts suggest all you need is a desperation plea for your TikTok video to go viral.

Clancy's Auto Body Shop in the Fort Lauderdale area has amassed a 224,000 following since posting its first TikTok video in February. The clip was made by the business' social media manager Joel Velazquez, and has over 24 million views as of Friday.
