Editor's Pick

We wrote about Tinder’s new “It Starts With a Swipe” campaign earlier this week, but this 60-second spot just arrived—a wonderfully stylized depiction of love that seems transient at first, before taking a turn to forever.

There’s definitely some “Everything Everywhere All at Once” going on in the dreamlike, acrobatic approach, which we’ve seen more of generally in advertising lately. (The Miller Lite/Coors Light spot on the Super Bowl played in the same sandbox.)

But the directors here, Los Pérez (the duo of Tania Verduzco and Adrián Pérez), have built up their own colorful cinematic language in recent years—see, for example, the Taco Bell clown spot—and do a fantastic job of finding the joy in the dance of dating.

 
 

A couple of :15s from the campaign, which we saw earlier in the week, were also heightened and stylized, but felt a bit more down-to-earth. This spot goes full fantasy, from first blush to destination wedding, with epic production design and darkly saturated colors (the fluffy black cat is perfectly cast—and clearly brings good luck).

The goal of the whole campaign is to move Tinder beyond its reputation for hookups, and to support all kinds of relationship. This work embodies that in a fresh and eye-catching way with youthful energy and style. What’s not to love?
