The managed roster

34 vetted hosts, found, booked, paid and scored through LiveHost, our own live-commerce platform. Every host is ranked on real GMV per hour, not follower counts, and benchmarked stream by stream so the roster keeps earning its place. Your brand approves every host before they front it, and exclusivity agreements are contracted and tracked in-platform so your trained talent stays yours.

The host training engine

No host goes live without passing. The engine runs in four steps: product immersion, with brand-led certification across your full SKU list; conversion craft, covering AOV laddering, bundle framing, objection handling and urgency that protects price integrity; supervised trial shifts with live scorecards on GMV per hour, ERR, AVD and CTR; then a place on the roster. Only the converters keep the slots. It is the same engine that built the P.Louise and L'Oréal host benches.

Matching hosts to brands

Casting is a strategy decision, not a lottery. We match hosts on sector fit and selling style: skincare at real depth needs hosts who know the science, premium brands win on calm, expert hosting where authority is perceived value, and every match is built for education-led selling. A trained host walking a viewer from a £12 product to a £90 routine is the whole commercial case: same traffic, 5x the basket. The method behind it is in our guide to selling on TikTok LIVE.

Talent development & retention

Great hosts are made, then managed. Call scripts for every product and bundle, each with multiple sales angles, are the single biggest driver of conversion, and hosts have them live in the room. A moderator and live strategist sit on every broadcast, weekly immersion sessions cover the product focus and the plan ahead, and LiveHost leaderboards and championships make your slots the ones every host fights for. The result: hosts who know the products cold, sell to a plan, and get sharper every single week. We track it all on the four metrics that decide every LIVE.

How we run it

presenter success, engineered.

Before, during and after every broadcast, the same five disciplines hold. Nobody fronts a SKU they have not passed.

01

Vetted & approved

Rigorous vetting and training, and every host approved by the brand before fronting it.

02

Scripted

Call scripts for every product and bundle, with multiple sales angles, live in the room.

03

Tested

Every host tested on every product and script before their first broadcast.

04

Moderated

A moderator and live strategist in the room whenever we are on air, driving performance in real time.

05

Reviewed weekly

Immersion sessions, scorecard read-outs and next-show learnings, every week.

For presenters

become a host.

Hosts join through LiveHost, our presenter marketplace: apply, get scored on real streams, and earn a place on the roster with booking, billing and championships handled in one platform. Brands do not book from a list; they access the roster through Somerce, matched, trained and managed as part of a LIVE engine.

The Somerce POV
How we think about LIVE talent
FAQ

tiktok live hosts, answered.

How are TikTok LIVE hosts vetted?
Every host on the roster comes through LiveHost, our own live-commerce platform, where presenters are scored on real GMV per hour, not follower counts. New hosts run supervised trial shifts with live scorecards covering GMV per hour, ERR, AVD and CTR, and only the converters keep the slots. Your brand approves every host before they front it. If you are comparing agencies, our UK TikTok Shop agency guide explains how trained hosts separate the field.
Can we use our own founder or team on LIVE?
Yes. The training engine works for brand-side talent too. We certify your people on product and conversion craft the same way we certify roster hosts, build their call scripts, and put a moderator and live strategist in the room with them on every broadcast. A strong pattern is a blend: your own faces for tentpole showcase moments, trained roster hosts carrying the daily engine.
What makes a good TikTok LIVE host?
A seller, not a presenter. Composed hosts with genuine reasons to buy convert harder than frantic ones, and confidence sells. The best hosts educate first, walking a viewer from a £12 product to a £90 routine, and they are judged on the numbers: GMV per hour, ERR, AVD and CTR on every stream.
How do hosts learn our product?
Through product immersion: brand-led training and certification across your full SKU list, covering ingredients, claims, routines and contraindications. No host goes live without passing. Our ecommerce and marketing team builds call scripts for every product and bundle, each with multiple sales angles, and every host is tested on every product and script before their first broadcast. Weekly immersion sessions keep that knowledge sharp.
