Gen Z marketing for the categories they buy first

The first purchase, first signup or first account in these seven categories happens between 18 and 26. Each page lays out how Gen Z buys in that category in India, the plays we run and what to measure.

Why category matters

Same audience, different first purchase.

The channel mix changes with the category because the conversion event does.

Trial-led

D2C, FMCG, fashion and beauty

Product in hand first: sampling, hostels and fests, creators for the unboxing, quick-commerce tie-ins for the repeat.

Action-led

Fintech, edtech, consumer apps

A completed KYC, a trial class, a retained install: app user acquisition from campus ambassadors and creators, priced per action.

Identity-led

Gaming, OTT, fashion

Belonging and status: Discord and WhatsApp communities, esports clubs, creators who already live the category.

FAQ

Industries: FAQ

My category is not listed. Can you still help?

Probably. Mobility, consumer electronics, food delivery, travel and hospitality have all been part of the team’s work. Send a brief and we will map it to the closest playbook.

Do industry playbooks change by city?

Yes. A fintech launch in Bangalore and in Lucknow use different colleges, creators and language. The city pages cover that layer.

Which services apply to every industry?

Campus marketing and creator UGC show up in almost every plan; the rest depend on the first purchase.
