Using the first three letters of its name, Bumble created a series of dating app billboards that bring popular tunes to life. The ads feature rhythmic blocks of text to mimic the sound of a beat and humming along promises to reveal the familiar sounds of Star Wars, Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight and more.
Beneath the bold black text on yellow backdrops, Bumble includes a message that helps to make the connection between pop culture interests and millions of available singles. The ads are situated in a variety of public places, especially in spaces where people will have plenty of time to ponder the songs and get the right rhythm by singing or humming along.
