For the first time in RSVP’s 17-year history, the Kiss symbol – which singles on the site send to each other to indicate their interest – will star in a new advertising campaign.
The latest campaign for Australia’s leading dating site, created by MercerBell, encourages modern day romantics to search RSVP, check out members and get things started with a Kiss.
David Bell, ECD at MercerBell, said: “RSVP is the real deal for genuine daters and the Kiss is a magical symbol that not only links directly with the way people connect on RSVP, it also reminds our audience of the thrill of romance.”
The campaign includes a 30-second TVC as well as two 15-second TVCs that tell the story of connecting with a Kiss from a man’s and a woman’s point of view.
The acquisition-focused campaign highlights RSVP’s mobile app, with the daters in the campaign using their mobiles and tablets to view profiles and send kisses.
“Online dating is the way of meeting new people for the modern day romantic. Our core audience of thirty-something men and women use RSVP as a key part of their social repertoire,” said Glenis Carroll, RSVP General Manager. “With this campaign we wanted to reflect the integration of our site into their daily lives and show the variety of mobile devices today’s singles use to meet and connect with new people.”
The ads will run across a variety of digital platforms as well as on TV, from Sunday 3 November.
