05·Why Match Group

From match to moment. The algorithm points. We host.

The Point · What the algorithm does
Signal
It knows who should meet.

Match's data already surfaces compatibility, intent, and proximity better than any promoter ever could.

Intent
It creates the spark.

Every match is a live signal that two people are open to meeting. That energy has a shelf life.

Reach
A reason for users to show up.

We co-design an offering Match gives its users, exclusive access, perks, or experiences at each event, so attending is a benefit of being on Match.

The Host · What BAKED! does with it
The Room
Turn the match into a moment.

Owned experiences with the crowd, production, and hospitality already built. Match points its users to the moment; we host them once they arrive.

The Signal Back
Send the data home.

RSVPs, opt-ins, and on-site behavior become measurable audience files. What happens IRL feeds the algorithm that pointed them there.

The Encore
Keep the story going.

Recap content, creator coverage, and repeat audiences that carry across every event on the calendar and back into the app.

You point. We host. The moment becomes data. The data becomes the next match.

06·The Partnership

One partnership, ongoing presence. Match shows up at every event in the BAKED! ecosystem, the events we produce today and everything we add next. The depth of each activation is tailored event by event.

What Match Gets
  • Guaranteed presence at every event in the ecosystem
  • Co-promotion into Match's user base to drive IRL attendance
  • Match-exclusive ticket allocations & VIP upgrades
  • On-site lead generation & first-party opt-ins

  • Activation depth scoped per event based on fit
How It Scales
  • One relationship covering the entire portfolio
  • Portfolio grows every year as we add events
  • New markets and categories folded in under the same agreement
  • Match's team decides which brand fits which moment
  • BAKED! brings the events and production; Match brings its users; together we drive the results
