Context
As the fastest-growing dating app globally, Bumble sought to expand its user base in Germany and specifically urban centers like Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt known for individuality, humour, and progressive values.
Approach
To introduce the brand with authenticity and relevance, we created eight hyperlocal 360° campaigns that tapped into the cultural quirks of Berlin’s distinct neighbourhoods.
Outcome
The campaign grew Bumble's user base in Berlin by 500% each month. More importantly, Bumble’s brand values were delivered with local specificity, cultural flair, and strategic impact across Berlin.

We created a campaign specific to Berlin, where billboards were placed in strategically selected locations around the city.

At the core of the headline-driven campaign are apt references targeted toward audiences between the ages of 18 and 35. The messages play to specific and local stereotypes of different Berlin neighborhoods while addressing such topics as dating, friendships, business, and especially female empowerment.

In the following flights of the campaign more topics were touched on in the headlines. Like the well-known and dreaded winter in Berlin. With kind messages, we brought a bit of warmth to Berliners.

In the hip area at Warschauer Straße, we put up a huge mega-poster to address the sexy and smart people passing by.
