So much work done in all these years. Unfortunately not all of it had the opportunity to take off but, the most important it’s always the process to come up with the idea that will understand and shape where culture will go.

The context

01

Badoo underwent a repositioning to present itself as an honest and transparent dating app. In 2021, the brand decided to launch a campaign (Badoo Hotline) addressing the importance of mental health at a time when this conversation is beginning to gain relevance, but they didn't achieve the desired impact with the campaign. They need an idea to amplify the campaign and also to improve the app's penetration among the female audience.

The problem

02

The usage of dating apps among the male audience doubles the usage rate (3M vs 1M) compared to women, who don't use them as much due to various factors, including the low sense of security they feel when meeting someone through the app.

The insight

03

People (specially women) on first dates pre-judge as they have chatted before they meet but also they feel more insecure at first sight.

The concept

We didn’t win the pitch because life is hard. However, we developed a campaign based on two features relevant to the female audience through the validation concept: during the first date, all the beliefs we had about the other person are validated or discarded.


On the other hand, especially for women, the first date represents an uncertain ground for them because they don't know what they might encounter.

Been in the whole process but mostly in insighting exercise for the two features.

In case you need a proper planner or creative strategist, this is me. Drop me a line if you’re Nora Ephron’s relative. Not serious strategy means not wordy strategy. I have read books that say overthinking isn’t good for health. Go for a walk. I reckon I was a hedgehog in my past life. Some times on strategy, common sense is not that common. I put a lot of the first. I dig the big question before to hit the spot later on.
