What they’re doing:
Newme consistently leverages trending formats to package brand messages—whether it’s an offer, a service update, or a referral program—into content formats already proven to perform with their target Gen Z audience.
Examples:
- Rakhi + AI Voiceover Format – Post link
- Uses a viral AI voiceover trend to hook viewers before weaving in product promotion.
- Rakhi + Popular Concept Format – Post link
- Taps into a concept that’s been trending for weeks, merging it with a brand-relevant moment.
- Referral Program via Suspense Storyline – Post link
- Uses a cliffhanger-driven reel style that was trending at the time to announce their referral scheme.
- Newme ZIP Promo via Trendy Format – Post link
- Integrates their 30-minute delivery feature into a high-energy, trending transition reel.
Why it’s working:
- Hook-first Approach – They lead with a familiar, viral structure before revealing the brand message, ensuring higher watch time and shareability.
- Consistent Trend Usage – ~60% of their feed is trend-based content, indicating a deliberate strategy rather than random participation.
- Cultural Alignment – They’re not just riding trends; they adapt them to match their TG’s lifestyle, humor, and fashion interests.
Key Takeaways for Other Brands:
- Treat trends as formats, not just hype moments—slot your offer/service into the structure.
- Maintain a steady rhythm of trend-based posts (e.g., 3/5 posts) to stay top-of-mind with a fast-moving audience.
- Always remix trends to fit your brand voice instead of copying them word-for-word.
