The Alaska-themed TikTok ads are a collaboration between UA and the Alaska Travel Industry Association with support from Alaska Airlines that aims to attract more students and workers to the state.

A second set of TikTok ads, to be launched over the holidays and in the new year, will feature tourism businesses in Juneau, Seward, Fairbanks and Anchorage and related university programs.
One of the new ads focuses on a tour company in Fairbanks that offers walks with reindeer partnered with the reindeer research being conducted at UAF's Large Animal Research Station.
