- Those exposed to the bus ads were 79% more likely to download the Tinder app than those who were not.

- The campaign drove 1,045 app downloads among the exposed group.

- Tails comprised 85% of the buses and kings represented 15%. Their download rates were nearly identical (.8% for Tails, .7% for Kings).

- While the 5 full wraps represented just .7% of the media plan, they drove 10.4 downloads per bus – twice the rate of Kings and 8x the rate of Tails.

- The exposed group downloaded continuously throughout the campaign; by its end they had 3x more app downloads than the control group.
