Brief | Creeps are the biggest roadblocks for women to get on to dating apps. Truly Madly, a popular dating app, wanted to communicate about its key feature ‘verified profiles’ which helps in keeping creeps away. | |||
Cultural Context |
‘Qawwali’ is a form of Sufi music. It’s more than 500 years old, but widely popularized by Bollywood songs where two teams battle it out with their verses. Never before had a brand parodied this genre or used it in the way Truly Madly did. Our music video combined a centuries old music genre with lyrics that were contemporary and peppered with internet lingo. And that’s where the humour came from. | |||
Solution |
We created a music video in the form of a modern day ‘Qawwali’ where two teams of women sing about the creeps they’ve met as they battle it out as to whose creep is the creepier one. |
