OVERVIEW:
Swipe Night is a first-of-its-kind interactive miniseries produced and engineered to live solely inside the Tinder app, giving users a completely new way to match. The choices are the key: while fun on the surface, they reveal something deep about your personality, give you a pool of more compatible users to choose from, and serve as icebreakers after the experience. For example, will you save the frightened puppy or the injured girl? You only have seven seconds to decide. Swipe Night increases compatibility, connection and conversation among Gen Z singles, while re-energizing the Tinder brand.

By bringing entertainment into the app to engineer compatibility, Swipe Night is a brand new way for people to match and connect. It was made to instill excitement and intention back into Tinder and ended up pushing the online dating industry forward.

 • Swipe Night reimagined the world’s most popular dating app as a platform where shared content experiences foster more meaningful connections, driving what the future of dating looks like

      • A game-changing hybrid of dating, entertainment, marketing, and technology

      • An ongoing platform Tinder can build upon and produce for years to come


BACKGROUND: 

Tinder, the pioneer of dating apps, launched in 2012 as a modern alternative to existing overly-complex desktop options. Through its revolutionary mobile-first UX and introduction of the now universally recognized swipe, it quickly became the leading platform for young people to connect. 

But after seven years, Tinder was facing steep competition from other dating apps and user fatigue, particularly among 18-25 year olds. For digitally native Gen Z, swiping on Tinder amounted to a mindless pastime, not an engaging way to meet and connect with other young people. While we contemplated creating a traditional marketing campaign to shift perceptions, we realized that the most powerful tool for resetting their relationship with Tinder was Tinder itself. Our goal was to give Gen Z singles a more meaningful way to match, while breathing new energy and cultural relevance into the Tinder brand.


RESULTS:

Swipe Night created a cultural moment that disrupted the norms of dating, entertainment and beyond, reclaiming Tinder’s throne as the dating-app innovator. 


Millions tuned in.

  • • Named “one of the most innovative video companies of 2020” by Fast Company
