Idea
Based on this insight, we came up with the idea “Friends with (Other) Benefits”, or in Thai “Puen Sampan” , a provocative term that playfully twists a dating slang to mean platonic “friendship”. Twisting FWB e.g. find “Friends With BBQ”, “Friends with Board Game”, “Friends with Books” or skip “One Night Stand (ONS)” for “One Night Street Food”, “One Night Singing” or “One Night Surfing”. The aim was to capitalize on this emerging trend of using Tinder for social discovery as a new way to convince Thais to become Tinder members.
Growth
The film received 42 million views. The campaign line “Puen Sampan” trended on social media and was mentioned on TV shows and internet podcasts organically.
