For female youth, Tinder had come to represent one thing. Hookups. It was too narrow, too transactional, and had Gen-Z women leaving Tinder in droves. We found Gen-Z were open to one-night stands, but needed the hope that it could lead to more. The It Starts With a Swipe campaign flipped Tinders narrative. Using a combination of humor, a bold visual identity, to acknowledge and reframe Tinder’s negative perceptions into hopefulness.  This new positioning instantly returned the company to positive growth, and Tinder overtook Hinge in brand preference.
