Crocs turned its long-running Croctober tradition into a record-breaking TikTok moment by live-streaming 24/7 for the entire month, ultimately setting the record for the longest continuous LIVE on the platform. Chief Brand Officer Terence Reilly breaks down how those nonstop sessions connected Crocs with millions of fans, drove more than 11 million views, and turned TikTok Shop into a real-time engine for discovery, product education, and community.
