What they’re doing:
newme has built a strong UGC-first approach to marketing by tapping into nano and micro creators over big-ticket influencer spends.
- They’ve launched a dedicated Instagram page @newmeogs exclusively for creator collaborations—making it easy for creators to connect, submit content, and join the brand’s community.
- All main feed content on @newme.asia is shot in-house, ensuring quality and brand consistency, while UGC from smaller creators is used to expand reach and awareness.
- Instead of frequent influencer partnerships, they primarily spotlight Anushka Sen (their Creative CEO) during major parties, launches, and offers—a strategic choice since her audience is largely Gen Z.
- By collaborating with many smaller creators instead of a few big ones, they tap into multiple niche audience segments, boosting organic talkability.
Why it’s working:
- Community Over Celebrity – Nano/micro creators feel more relatable and authentic to Gen Z audiences.
- Multi-segment Reach – Smaller creators cater to specific micro-communities, diversifying exposure.
- Consistent Brand Image – In-house shoots keep the feed cohesive while UGC diversifies content style.
- Strategic Influencer Choice – Using Anushka Sen only for major campaigns maximizes her impact without overuse.
- Peer-to-Peer Trust – Gen Z values recommendations from relatable creators over polished celebrity endorsements.
Key Takeaways for Other Brands:
