The videos are shot in a vertical format, making them easily shareable on social media platforms. One video shows the woman presenting the app to the two men, who are immediately amused by its user-friendly interface. "It's so easy to use!" one of the men exclaims in the video. Another video highlights the app's safety features, with the men discussing how secure the platform is. The use of local language and humor makes the advertisements relatable and memorable for the target audience. The campaign has already generated significant buzz online, with many people sharing the videos on social media. This innovative approach to app promotion demonstrates the power of humor and local relevance in capturing the attention of a target audience.
