Okcupid Dtf
Clean, vibrant graphics and au courant humor come together in OkCupid’s latest marketing campaign, inspiring us all to be a little less jaded.
Quick look mode To reintroduce the OG dating platform OkCupid to a young audience, we redefined a dirty digital-dating acronym and turned it into an empowering rallying cry for modern romance. Analysis How OkCupid’s Provocative ‘DTF’ Local-Focused Ad Campaign Lifted Its Social Media Presence By 50 Percent 'We've been running the DTF campaign in a handful of cities, but the.
If 2018 hasn’t been your absolute nightmare thus far, lucky you. Between a political hellscape and Nicki Minaj blaming a baby for her album’s No. 2 Billboard debut, almost nothing is shocking anymore.
But once in a blue (no, something rarer, even — magenta? Kelly green? ) moon, something comes along that restores just a smidge of our hope in humanity and the okay-ness of it all. With bold, colorful design, doses of well-measured humor, and nods to pop culture for the millennial dater, OkCupid’s unexpected, refreshing, and relatable DTF (yes, that NSFW acronym, but deftly reimagined) campaign is here to give us new life. Here are five reasons it’s working:
1. It champions equality.
I mean, how adorable is this LGBTQIA-affirming ad? Not sure about the extra arms, though I’m hoping it’s an obscure reference to Parvati, the arguably genderqueer Hindu goddess of love and fertility, who is often depicted with many arms.
2. It’s downright funny.
These ads are plastered across subway trains in NYC and across the country — many places where recreational marijuana use is not legal. However, over 20% of American adults admit that they smoke or consume the devil’s lettuce at least once or twice a year. It seems OkCupid just really knows their audience.

3. It celebrates the intersection of cultures and languages.
In a time when xenophobia has been given a larger public platform than ever before, we love to see the embrace of diversity — even in a minor capacity, like this nod to the Spanish language. Plus, who doesn’t get some sliver of sick joy in arguing over sports? And, yes, I’m certain the positioning of those balls was strategic.
4. It promotes meaningful dialogue.
On a recent night out, I discovered a shocking truth: in 2018, you can have a conversation about politics with someone who has vastly different views from you — without feeling like pulling your own hair out. And to do so within the context of a romantic relationship? OkCupid has checkmated us all.
5. It just *gets* us.
