gen-up is a 30-person marketing agency in Frankfurt built around reaching audiences who avoid traditional media and live primarily on social platforms. The hiring mix is heavily marketing-focused with early-career staff, and their project load centers on creative development and campaign optimization across TikTok, Instagram, and Meta—reflecting a service delivery model scaled through junior talent rather than platform tooling.
gen-up helps mid-market brands build presence and relevance among social-native audiences, particularly Gen Z and younger demographics who prioritize platforms like TikTok and Instagram over traditional channels. The agency operates three service lines: market research and audience insights (Insights-Up), strategy development and brand positioning (Strategy-Up), and creative production and community management (Creation-Up). Clients include Henkel, DEICHMANN, WarnerBros, and Kleinanzeigen. The team works across campaign development, content production, influencer partnerships, and always-on community management.
gen-up provides three interconnected services: quantitative market research and trend analysis targeting social-media audiences; strategy workshops and brand positioning; and creative production, content campaigns, influencer marketing, and community management across TikTok, Instagram, and Meta.
gen-up specializes in TikTok, Instagram, and Meta platforms, with a focus on vertical video and community-driven content strategies. The agency uses native ad managers (TikTok Ads Manager and Meta Ads Manager) and Google Workspace for production workflows.
