THE CONTEXT

Meet the people behind it!

Launched in 2022, Duet is a popular dating app in Asia expanding into the U.S. The Duet team partnered with Trojan Marketing Group (TMG), a student-run agency at USC, to boost brand awareness and drive downloads on campus.

Identifying a gap in the market for deeper, more authentic connections, my TMG team developed a strategy campaign that challenged the superficial nature of existing dating apps.

Our campaign consisted of a polished research-driven deck, an interactive pop-up event at USC, a TMG x Duet party, and short-form promotional content.

My awesome teammates!

THE PROBLEM

Breaking into a saturated market.

Breaking into the U.S. dating market meant competing in an already saturated space, where most apps rely on surface-level interactions. Duet needed to stand out in a way that felt more intentional to a Gen Z audience.

THE RESEARCH

Gen Z is craving something deeper.

Gen Z is moving away from swipe culture and toward more meaningful relationships. They want honesty, depth, and partners who align with their values. NOT just another match.

Translating insight into brand.

Gen Z is moving away from swipe culture and toward more meaningful relationships. They want honesty, depth, and partners who align with their values. NOT just another match.

THE SOLUTION

Bringing the strategy to life.

From insight to execution, we built a focused strategy that defined who we were speaking to and how Duet would stand out.

Our campaign assets consisted of an interactive pop-up event at USC, a TMG x Duet party, and short-form promotional content. We mapped out a budget breakdown and timeline accordingly.

THE ASSETS

Campaign Content Series

We created a series of ads for social, following two characters navigating a string of bad dates until they meet each other through Duet and actually find something real!
