Paktor

Communication strategy

Client:
Paktor
Scope of work:
KOL Booking, MV Production
Context:

Paktor was created based on the insight that “Asians tend to be reserved and fear rejection in romantic relationships.” Launched in Vietnam in 2013, it was the first dating app designed specifically for the Asian market. However, it faced strong competition from global players like Tinder and struggled to gain recognition among younger users.

The challenge was to position Paktor as a fun, engaging, and relatable dating app for young people, while maintaining a fresh and authentic energy without feeling overly commercial or sensitive.

Solution:

The strategy aimed to boost Paktor’s visibility through a multi-channel approach, including press, TV, radio, and social media. Collaborating with KOLs, the campaign focused on inspiring and building affection for Paktor, promoting it as a safe and fun dating app.

Work category:

Online PR: Articles featured on VnExpress, Dantri, Tuổi Trẻ, Thanh Niên, and over 30 other online news platforms.
Television: FBNC – 3 segments, HTV9 – 2 segments, HTV7 – 3 segments, VTV1 – 4 segments.
Radio: VOV – 3 segments.
