It’s an absolute win for the agency’s first work for the brand.

Adam Szajgin, creative director, 72andSunny Los Angeles, commented, “People are ready to make love, but like actual love. We just needed a way to talk about this timeless topic that wasn’t cheesy or sappy. So, we enlisted Rebel Wilson who can say what we’re all feeling about dating in a relatable but ridiculous way, gave her a pretend podcast, and asked her to help people get their heart on.”

“Match has always been about making love – like, real, actual love,” added Ayesha Gilarde, chief marketing officer at Match. “In partnership with Rebel Wilson, we are excited to give a voice to the challenges daters face today in a fun and relatable way, all the while encouraging singles to get out there and make some love.”

Rebel stated, “Dating shouldn’t be a numbers game – or any game at all – it should be about finding YOUR number one partner. So I’m teaming up with Match to start talking about real feelings, real commitment and treating each other like the amazing effing people we are! So for all you hopeful daters out there looking for your person, join me in flipping the script on dating today and let’s make love… some real love.”
