Abstract: This paper examines the marketing strategies of two French startups, Amo and Numera, that target Generation
Z, a consumer group defined by its digital nativeness, demand for authenticity, and value-driven purchasing
behavior. Amo, operating in the social tech sector, emphasizes peer-to-peer connection and de-influencing
strategies. At the same time, Numera, a sustainable cosmetics brand, integrates ecological messaging with
micro-influencer collaborations and community engagement. Through a qualitative case study, this research
highlights how empathic response, social responsibility, and user participation serve as central forces of brand
loyalty among Generation Z. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how startups can effectively
adapt their marketing to emerging generational values despite limited resources. Comparing two contrasting
industries offers practical insights into how purpose-led branding and authentic communication foster long-
term consumer relationships. The findings serve as a strategic reference for other early-stage ventures striving
to stand out in a competitive, value-conscious digital market.
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Research Background
In recent years, Generation Z (Gen Z) emerged as a
dominant force in the consumer market. This group
grew up surrounded by digital tech all around them.
Because they're always using phones, social media,
and messaging apps, they've developed their own
special way of shopping and spending money. Their
consumer behavior reflects a marked departure from
previous generations, with particular emphasis on
brand authenticity, customized experiences, and
corporate values that resonate with their personal
ideologies. These evolving preferences are
fundamentally transforming brand communication
strategies and value proposition frameworks.
The emergence of digitally native consumers has
compelled businesses to fundamentally reconfigure
their marketing paradigms. Conventional approaches,
predominantly characterized by mass broadcasting
and brand-centric messaging, have proven inadequate
in engaging this demographic. Contemporary
marketing strategies must instead prioritize
interactivity, community engagement, and social
responsibility to resonate effectively. This shift has
elevated social media platforms, influencer
partnerships, and user-generated content from
supplementary tactics to core components of
successful Gen Z marketing initiatives.
For early-stage ventures operating in competitive
markets such as France, this generational transition
constitutes a dual proposition of strategic challenges
and growth potential. Unlike established corporations
with substantial marketing resources, startups
typically possess constrained budgets but greater
organizational agility, positioning them to pioneer
innovative engagement tactics. Their inherent
flexibility enables experimentation with
unconventional approaches to cut through market
noise and capture Gen Z attention. For these emerging
businesses, mastering generation-specific
engagement strategies represents not merely a
competitive advantage, but a fundamental
requirement for sustainable market penetration and
long-term viability.

analyzing their distinct approaches to engaging Gen
Z consumers. The investigation focuses on three
aspects of Gen Z's consumption psychology: their
demand for brand authenticity, expectation of digital-
native engagement, and preference for socially
conscious business practices. By systematically
comparing these startups' marketing tactics, the study
reveals both convergent strategies and divergent
implementations across different market
segments.The analysis evaluates campaign
performance through multiple metrics: social media
interaction rates, consumer sentiment analysis, and
market share progression. These quantitative
measures are complemented by qualitative
examination of brand narrative coherence and value
alignment. The findings demonstrate how resource-
constrained startups can leverage generational
insights to achieve disproportionate market impact,
suggesting that strategic authenticity often outweighs
budgetary advantages in Gen Z marketing.
1.3 Research Significance
This research is significant in that it offers practical
insights into how startups can successfully tailor their
marketing efforts to meet the expectations of Gen Z.
By analyzing the strategies of Amo and Numera, this
study provides a reference for other French startups
seeking to innovate and improve their market
positioning. It also contributes to a broader
understanding of evolving marketing practices in the
digital age.
1.4 Research Methodology
This paper adopts a qualitative case study approach,
focusing on Amo and Numera as representative
examples of French startups targeting Gen Z
consumers. Their marketing strategies are analyzed
and compared to identify patterns, differences, and
potential best practices.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Generation Z Consumer Behavior
Characteristics
Generation Z, typically defined as individuals born
between 1997 and 2012, represents a new wave of
consumers whose expectations and behaviors diverge
significantly from previous generations.
Understanding their unique characteristics is crucial
for startups aiming to effectively engage with this
cohort.
Gen Z consumers place a high value on
personalized experiences and authentic
communication with brands. They expect brands to
understand their needs, preferences, and identities.
Traditional mass-marketing techniques tend to fall flat
with this audience, which favors tailored messages
and real-time interaction (Francis and Hoefel, 2018).
Social and environmental awareness is a defining
trait of Gen Z. They tend to support brands that align
with their values, including those that demonstrate
commitment to sustainability, diversity, and ethical
business practices. For startups, aligning with these
values can be a major competitive advantage.
Influencer recommendations, user reviews, and
branded content on these platforms play a significant
role in shaping their purchasing decisions (Turner,
2015).
2.2 Contemporary Marketing Theories
As marketing evolves in response to changing
technologies and consumer expectations, three
emerging approaches have gained prominence among
startups: influencer marketing, emotional marketing,
and brand communities. These theories resonate
particularly well with Gen Z values and offer
innovative pathways for new companies to connect
with their audience.
Influencer marketing involves partnering with
individuals who have built a significant following and
credibility in specific niches to promote a brand’s
products or services. This strategy thrives on the trust
and perceived authenticity that influencers have
cultivated with their followers (Brown and Hayes,
2008). Gen Z values authenticity and peer-like
communication, making influencer marketing
particularly effective. Micro- and nano-influencers,
with smaller but highly engaged audiences, are
especially relevant for startups due to their cost-
effectiveness and closer audience relationships
(Kapitan et al., 2021).
Influencers can act as powerful intermediaries who
humanize the brand and make its message more
relatable. Influencer endorsements significantly
affect consumer attitudes toward the brand, especially
when there is a high level of congruence between the
influencer’s image and the brand values (De Veirman
et al., 2017).

Emotional marketing aims to build strong
emotional bonds between a brand and its consumers,
going beyond the functional attributes of a product. It
involves storytelling, symbolism, and sensory appeal
to evoke specific feelings that can lead to stronger
brand loyalty (Matzler et al., 2008). Gen Z consumers
respond well to brands that evoke empathy, humor,
nostalgia, or inspiration. Startups can harness
emotional marketing by sharing authentic origin
stories, challenges faced during development, or
missions that resonate with broader societal values.
This emotional connection encourages long-term
engagement and fosters word-of-mouth promotion.
Additionally, emotional marketing contributes to
brand differentiation in highly saturated markets. As
startups often struggle to compete on price or
distribution, emotional appeal offers a unique and
memorable positioning strategy.
A brand community is a group of customers who
form meaningful connections with each other around
their shared admiration for a brand. These
communities are not just marketing tools but cultural
and social ecosystems that drive customer loyalty and
co-creation (Muniz and O’Guinn, 2001). Startups can
benefit significantly from fostering brand
communities, especially in the early stages of
business development. These communities serve
multiple purposes: they offer organic brand
promotion, real-time feedback, and a sense of
belonging that ties customers to the brand identity.
Engagement tools such as social media groups,
interactive forums, and brand-led events can facilitate
community development. Moreover, brand
communities support peer-to-peer interaction, which
Gen Z values as a trusted source of information and
support.
2.3 Marketing Challenges and
Opportunities for Startups
Startups navigate the business landscapes marked by
resource constraints and intense competition, yet
these conditions often spur creative marketing
approaches perfectly suited to Gen Z consumers. The
inherent limitations of startup marketing budgets
demand exceptional efficiency, making cost-effective
strategies like authentic influencer partnerships and
emotionally resonant storytelling particularly
valuable compared to traditional advertising
expenditures.
The saturated startup ecosystem presents another
fundamental challenge: cutting through the market
noise requires genuine differentiation through
compelling brand narratives and distinctive value
propositions that resonate emotionally. Interestingly,
Gen Z's appreciation for raw authenticity over
polished perfection allows emerging brands to turn
their developmental journey and transparency into
competitive advantages rather than weaknesses.
These digital-native consumers actually provide a
strategic roadmap for startup marketing success
through their demonstrated preferences for purpose-
driven brands, interactive digital experiences, and
community-oriented engagement. Startups that
skillfully incorporate these elements can develop
meaningful connections and foster impressive brand
loyalty despite their newcomer status, proving that in
today's market, cultural relevance and authentic
engagement often outweigh budgetary advantages.
3 CASE STUDY
This research focuses on Amo and Numera, two
post-2022 startups chosen for their groundbreaking
approaches to connecting with Gen Z consumers
through non-traditional marketing tactics. Operating
in social technology and eco-friendly beauty
respectively, these companies provide particularly
insightful case studies for examining how modern
brands are successfully employing emotional
engagement, community-focused initiatives, and
alternative influencer strategies to resonate with
young consumers while staying true to core
generational values.
3.1 Amo: Innovative Marketing
Strategies Focused on Authentic
Social Interaction
Amo is a Paris-based startup founded in 2022 by a
team of former Snapchat engineers. Its mission is to
reinvent social interactions for Gen Z users through
apps that prioritize real-time, emotional connection.
Amo’s main products include Tilt (a real-time camera
app that only opens once per day), Bump (a tool for
making new friends nearby), and ID (a customizable
social profile card). Rather than promoting likes,
followers, or curated identities, these apps encourage
spontaneous, personal sharing.
Amo is positioned toward Gen Z consumers, who
prioritize authenticity, emotional connection, and
meaningful digital interaction. This generation is
increasingly skeptical of traditional influencer-driven
ICPLSS 2025 - International Conference on Politics, Law, and Social Science
154
platforms and prefers content that reflects real life.
Amo’s vision directly aligns with these values by
fostering intimate, friend-focused communication
spaces.
Rather than relying on traditional influencers or
celebrity endorsements, Amo embraces a de-
influencing approach. This involves peer-to-peer
promotion, community seeding, and “friend first”
discovery models. It aligns with recent marketing
research indicating a shift in Gen Z trust away from
macro-influencers toward micro-networks (Campbell
et al., 2023). Amo’s growth relies on small-group
virality and app-based referrals, making it a natural fit
for decentralized influence strategies.
Amo brands itself around the core principle that
real relationships matter more than public image. This
emotional positioning taps into emotional branding,
creating stronger affective ties between users and the
product (Thomson et al., 2005). The emotional
experience is integral to the app itself, not just its
marketing campaigns. Amo’s user experience is
deliberately designed to market itself. Daily photo
prompts, visible user actions (e.g., “you missed
today’s moment”), and real-time notifications
generate organic content and drive re-engagement. As
such, the product functions as both a utility and a viral
communication engine, minimizing the need for
external advertising.
3.2 Numera: A Sustainable Approach
to Digital Marketing
Numera is a Lyon-based beauty and wellness startup
founded in early 2023. It specializes in solid-format
cosmetic products, such as solid shampoo bars, face
cleansers, and body moisturizers. The brand’s core
promise is zero waste and carbon-neutral production,
aiming to reshape consumer habits in the beauty
industry. Packaging is biodegradable, and all
ingredients are ethically sourced.
Numera primarily targets environmentally
conscious Gen Z and Millennial customers. This
demographic increasingly values brands that reflect
their ecological and ethical concerns. 73% of Gen Z
consumers are willing to pay more for sustainable
products (NielsenIQ, 2015). Numera’s brand purpose
which combines personal care with planetary care is
an explicit response to these evolving values.
Numera promotes its products directly through
platforms like Instagram and TikTok, integrating e-
commerce capabilities (e.g., Instagram Shop) with
user-generated product demonstrations. The brand
encourages customers to post content showing their
plastic-free routines, thereby leveraging authentic
content over polished ad campaigns. Inspired by
grassroots sales models, Numera offers digital
ambassador programs, where customers become
affiliate marketers with unique referral codes. These
micro-entrepreneurs are trained to represent the brand
authentically and educate their audiences. This hybrid
between influencer marketing and direct sales
promotes ownership, trust, and relatability (De
Veirman et al., 2017). The company consistently
weaves its ecological mission into every piece of
communication, from packaging and email
newsletters to influencer partnerships and video
campaigns. This deep narrative integration supports
strong emotional ties and reinforces the brand’s
purpose-driven identityErro! A origem da

4 COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF
MARKETING STRATEGIES
4.1 Marketing Positioning Comparison
Amo and Numera are two emerging French startups
that have adopted distinctive marketing positions
aligned with the values and behaviors of Gen Z
consumers. Although they operate in vastly different
industries, Amo in the social media tech space and
Numera in sustainable cosmetics, both aim to connect
deeply with their audiences through innovative
strategies.
Amo, founded in 2023 by Antoine Martin, the co-
founder of Zenly, presents itself as an alternative to
traditional, curated social media platforms. Its
products, Tilt, Bump, and ID, focus on fostering raw,
real-time, and friend-first interactions, deviating from
influencer-centric engagement. Amo positions itself
as an antidote to the perfection of mainstream social
platforms, specifically targeting younger users
disillusioned with the artificial engagement metrics
and performative culture prevalent on Instagram and
TikTok. By centering its brand philosophy on "real
friends, real interactions," the platform deliberately
rejects algorithmic virality in favor of authentic
interpersonal connections, creating a space where
genuine relationships take precedence over mass
visibility.
Numera approaches the market differently as a
mission-led beauty brand aiming to make sustainable

personal care accessible. Through its innovative
solid-format product line, the company attracts
environmentally aware Gen Z consumers who
prioritize ethical consumption, effectively selling not
just cosmetics but an entire eco-conscious lifestyle.
The brand's marketing blends product education with
environmental advocacy, using compelling narratives
and community initiatives to foster deeper emotional
investment from its customer base.
Though operating in distinct industries, both
startups demonstrate how effectively addressing Gen
Z's twin priorities of authenticity and social impact
can drive brand success. Amo fulfills the desire for
truthful digital interactions, while Numera meets the
need for consumption aligned with personal values,
proving that meaningful engagement outweighs
traditional marketing tactics for this demographic..
4.2 Social Media Marketing
Comparison
Social media plays a vital role in the marketing
strategies of both Amo and Numera, yet the way each
brand engages with the medium reveals profound
differences rooted in their respective brand
philosophies.
Amo takes a radically different approach to social
media marketing by intentionally rejecting influencer
partnerships, advertising, and algorithm-driven
content. Instead, Amo’s strategy is built on what
might be described as “de-influencer marketing.” The
product itself becomes the main promotional tool,
relying on organic, peer-to-peer discovery. This
aligns with the “friends-first” interaction model that
prioritizes meaningful engagement over superficial
likes or shares. In this model, virality is not the
objective; rather, depth and frequency of usage within
small friend circles are the keys to growth. This form
of social media marketing reflects the shift that
emphasizes the growing Gen Z preference for
authenticity over aspiration (Vredenburg and Kapitan,
2022). Amo’s growth tactics, such as exclusive invite
systems and time-sensitive content, stimulate
curiosity and “fear of missing out”(FOMO) while
keeping the platform intimate and close-knit. It is a
form of "social-first" branding where community
precedes brand narrative.
Numera skillfully leverages social media's dual
potential for narrative-building and market expansion
by blending conventional influencer partnerships
with purpose-driven messaging. The company
strategically partners with environmentally aware
micro-influencers whose personal commitment to
sustainability lends credibility to their promotion of
plastic-free living, minimalist lifestyles, and solid-
format beauty alternatives. These authentic
collaborations typically feature practical
demonstrations, honest product assessments, and
interactive sustainability challenges that motivate
audience participation. Complementing this organic
content, Numera incorporates seamless social
commerce functionalities like in-platform purchasing
options and referral incentives, effectively bridging
the gap between compelling storytelling and
convenient transaction opportunities. This integrated
approach merges inspirational eco-conscious
messaging with smooth conversion mechanisms,
facilitating a natural transition from brand discovery
to customer acquisition while maintaining consistent
environmental values throughout the consumer
journey. Gen Z consumers respond more favorably to
brands that embed social responsibility in their social
media presence rather than using it as a gimmick
(Hughes et al., 2019).
In sum, while Amo uses social media to foster
closed, personal circles of interaction, Numera
leverages it as an educational and commercial tool to
widen the reach of its sustainability mission. Both
models are effective, yet cater to different consumer
desires within the same generational cohort.
4.3 Brand Community Building
Comparison
The concept of brand community has become
indispensable in contemporary marketing,
particularly for Gen Z audiences who prioritize
meaningful connections and shared values. Amo and
Numera exemplify two divergent yet equally
effective approaches to community building that cater
to this demographic's expectations.
Amo's community emerges organically from its
product design rather than manufactured marketing
efforts. The app's architecture facilitates real-time,
private interactions between friends while
deliberately avoiding public engagement metrics,
fostering intimate digital circles where the platform
naturally becomes a space for authentic micro-
communities. This product-led approach aligns with
Gen Z's preference for genuine connection over
performative social media behaviors, bonding
through shared experiences rather than curated
content.
ICPLSS 2025 - International Conference on Politics, Law, and Social Science
156
Conversely, Numera cultivates community
through structured participation frameworks that
transform customers into active stakeholders. The
brand orchestrates sustainability initiatives, user-
generated campaigns, and an ambassador program
that collectively foster a multi-tiered ecosystem
ranging from casual buyers to devoted advocates. By
highlighting customer journeys and eco-conscious
transformations, Numera builds an identity-based
collective where members co-create brand meaning
through their environmental commitments.
While Amo relies on platform-based interaction to
build tight-knit user circles, Numera constructs an
aspirational identity-based community through
participation and shared values. Both models, while
different in form, fulfill Gen Z's desire for connection
and involvement.
4.4 Application of Sustainability
Elements
Sustainability forms the foundation of Numera's
entire operation, shaping everything from product
design to customer communications. The brand has
consistently applied circular economy concepts
across its value chain, ensuring environmental
responsibility influences not just marketing messages
but also tangible business decisions regarding
formulations, packaging solutions, and stakeholder
engagement. This holistic approach to sustainability
enables Numera to maintain credibility with eco-
conscious consumers while differentiating itself in
the competitive beauty market. Solid cosmetics
reduce water content and eliminate plastic packaging,
and the brand ensures transparency by
communicating its ingredient sourcing and
production practices. Every aspect of its brand
touchpoints reinforces environmental consciousness,
whether it's on social media, product labels, or
customer emails. This consistency strengthens
Numera's credibility as a sustainable brand and
satisfies the increasing consumer demand for
transparency and accountability in business practices.
Nearly 73% of Gen Z consumers are willing to pay
more for sustainable products, a sentiment that
Numera effectively captures (NielsenIQ., 2022).
In contrast, Amo does not explicitly highlight
sustainability in its marketing or operations.
However, one could argue that by operating entirely
in the digital sphere with no physical products or
logistics, the environmental footprint is inherently
lower than that of traditional industries. Nonetheless,
this aspect is not framed as part of the companys
narrative, and thus does not function as a competitive
advantage in its branding. This absence of a
sustainability message may not hinder Amo's appeal
in the short term, given its focus on real-time
interaction and emotional connection, but could
become a missed opportunity as digital sustainability
becomes more relevant.
4.5 Consumer Feedback and Market
Impact
Both Amo and Numera have gained significant
market traction by aligning with Gen Z's core values,
though each faces unique challenges moving forward.
Amo's emphasis on authentic peer connections has
resulted in impressive user retention, with app store
reviews and media reports highlighting its innovative
approach to social networking. By eschewing
traditional ads, the platform has cultivated strong user
trust, though this very strength presents monetization
hurdles that will require creative solutions to ensure
sustainable growth while preserving its community-
focused ethos.
Similarly, Numera's commitment to sustainability
has driven steady monthly growth, with customers
particularly praising its clean formulations,
environmentally-friendly packaging, and informative
brand messaging. While its influencer collaborations
and affiliate programs provide cost-effective scaling
opportunities, the brand must carefully maintain its
authentic voice to avoid alienating its
environmentally-conscious customer base that
remains wary of overly commercialized partnerships.
Both cases illustrate how startups can successfully
engage Gen Z through value-driven approaches while
navigating the inherent tensions between growth,
authenticity, and financial sustainability.
5 STRATEGIC INSIGHTS AND
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
5.1 Key Findings
Amo's strategy capitalizes on Gen Z's craving for
authentic connection by transforming its platform into
a vehicle for genuine peer interactions rather than
staged influencer content, effectively tapping into this
demographic's preference for unmediated social
experiences.
Marketing Strategies for Generation Z: A Comparative Analysis of Two French Startups, Amo and Numera
157
Numera's approach demonstrates how
environmental consciousness can become a powerful
brand differentiator, merging eco-friendly product
development with community-driven marketing
tactics that turn customers into active brand
ambassadors. Both cases underscore a crucial market
insight: for Gen Z consumers, emotional resonance
and value alignment consistently outweigh traditional
considerations like price or features when building
brand loyalty.
The success of these startups highlights a
fundamental shift in effective marketing paradigms,
where traditional advertising gives way to strategies
prioritizing community building, authentic
storytelling, and shared purpose. These findings
suggest that companies seeking to capture the Gen Z
market must move beyond transactional relationships
to cultivate meaningful connections rooted in identity
and values.
5.2 Marketing Implications for French
Startups
For social and digital offerings, adopting
decentralized communication strategies that prioritize
organic peer sharing and authentic user interactions
proves particularly impactful. These platforms
succeed when designed to facilitate natural user
engagement, effectively transforming the product
experience into its own marketing vehicle through
genuine word-of-mouth propagation.
For physical product startups, especially those in
lifestyle and ethical categories, combining social
commerce mechanics with sustainability narratives
creates powerful brand affinity. These companies
benefit from implementing community-oriented sales
approaches that actively involve consumers in co-
creating brand stories, thereby strengthening
emotional connections while increasing visibility.
Despite the resource limitations typical of early-stage
ventures, this focused approach centered on core
values enables startups to make memorable
impressions that resonate with Gen Z's priorities and
consumption habits.
6 CONCLUSION
This study compares how two French startups, Amo
and Numera, engage Gen Z through distinct yet
equally effective strategies. Both leverage social
media differently: Amo fosters intimate peer
communities while rejecting influencer culture,
whereas Numera combines eco-conscious influencers
with grassroots sustainability education. Their
success reveals Gen Z's dual priorities: Amo
demonstrates the power of authentic emotional
connections, while Numera shows the importance of
aligning with consumer values through its solid-
format products and environmental mission.
Ultimately, both cases prove that for startups
targeting this demographic, building genuine
community ties and demonstrating social
responsibility outweigh traditional marketing
approaches in fostering long-term loyalty.
