Match Group faced the challenge of enhancing user engagement and deepening connections across its diverse portfolio of dating platforms, including Tinder, OkCupid, and Hinge. With millions of users seeking authentic, meaningful relationships, the company recognized the need to leverage video content to resonate with their audience on a more personal level. The challenge was to create video marketing campaigns that showcased the unique features of each dating app, highlighted real success stories, and captured the essence of their brand while fostering a deeper emotional connection with users. Match Group needed a strategic partner capable of translating these objectives into compelling video narratives that would drive engagement, inspire trust, and ultimately increase user conversions.

Content Supply partnered with Match Group to address their need for engaging and impactful video content that could drive deeper user engagement across their suite of dating apps.
