SMM stands for Social media marketing, a marketing & advertising abbreviation.

Example: We outsourced SMM to an agency that specializes in TikTok content.

Usage notes

Social commerce features such as shoppable posts and TikTok Shop have turned SMM into a direct sales channel. Organic reach on most platforms has declined over time, pushing brands toward paid promotion.
