HUD App x RAINN

An empowering social media campaign exploring harassment and online dating that raised funds for the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network while promoting HUD App’s zero tolerance harassment policy. This inspired campaign received 50M impressions, raised $25K, and increased HUD’s social following by 250%!

HUD dating app needed more female and queer users and wanted to boost downloads and increase their retention rate.

We identified their most unique feature, their zero tolerance harassment policy, and created a social media campaign to highlight this differentiator. Then we partnered the app with female & queer influencers to share the worst messages they'd received on dating apps, calling attention to HUD's distinguishing feature while raising funds and awareness for the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. The campaign also encouraged followers to share their own experiences in the comments, which created meaningful digital dialogue while simultaneously boosting the campaign’s impact and analytics.

We provided full-service partnership across ideation, strategy, casting, creative, and graphic design for this viral social campaign.

HUD was so pleased with the results that we repeated the campaign in the UK to help boost their international presence.
