TikTok growth + content

TopQuantUnis

TopQuantUnis is a startup focused on helping students navigate careers in quantitative finance by making complex, opaque information more accessible through short-form social content. The platform uses social media, primarily TikTok, as a discovery channel to educate students on quant roles, internships, compensation + recruiting timelines through silly videos while driving traffic to the main product website.

Status: Accessible TikTok, still gaining followers and views everyday

Problem

Quantitative finance is a highly competitive and confusing space for students.


Information about roles, salaries, recruiting processes, and firm differences is often fragmented or buried in long-form forums and technical resources. As a result, many students, especially those without strong industry networks, struggle to understand where to start, what opportunities exist, and how to position themselves effectively.

Work Process

As co-owner of the social page, I focused on using short-form video as both an educational and growth tool.


My process included:

  • Researching quant finance topics, trends, and frequently asked student questions

  • Identifying high-performing content formats and testing narrative hooks and pacing

  • Creating short-form TikTok videos from ideation through filming, editing, and posting

  • Analyzing performance metrics such as views, likes, saves, and engagement to understand what resonated

  • Edited and proofread interview blogs with quant techs around the world as well as creating a new logo that would stand out to users

Goal

Our primary goals of my work at TopQuantUnis were to:

  • Increase brand awareness among students interested in quant finance

  • Educate audiences on quant careers in a clear, approachable, and engaging way

  • Drive traffic from social platforms to the main product website

  • Build a recognizable and consistent social presence through repeatable content formats

Through this approach, the account reached over 6.7 million views and accumulated more than 588,000 likes in under a year, demonstrating the effectiveness of a strategy that combined education, storytelling, and performance analysis.
