While electrical tape has its uses, this is not
one of them (it has a tendency to stretch and
break).  If you do not have a pull wire grip of the
appropriate size, at least attempt some other
means of mechanical attachment (bending
the cable into a loop, slicing it open so there
is a hole through the center of the cable, knot
the pull cable and hdmi cable, whatever), and use
tape (consider a reinforced tape, such as duct)
to protect the resulting union, and not as the
mechanical attachment itself.

Using tape as the mechanical attachment
is likely to result in one more lesson learned.
