Thursday

Thursday’s 2024: A Year in Real Life It has been a truly life changing 4 months being part of the Thursday rocket ship, and an even wilder year in full for the founders George Rawlings & Matthew McNeill Love From packed-out events to some mega partnerships, 2024 has been nothing short of unforgettable for myself & Thursday:- We brought IRL dating back to life—one city, one event, one connection at a time. 📍 Global Growth This year, we launched in 72 new cities, making sure singles from all around the world didn’t swipe their weekends away, but spent them meeting amazing people IRL. 🎉 Unforgettable Events Over 3,000 events globally brought together over 200,000 singles for drinks, laughs, running, dog walking, dinners and maybe a cheeky kiss or two. From rooftops in NYC to ski trips in the Alps, we’re redefining what a “good night out” really means, and let's face it… it’s not doom scrolling for dates after an 8 hour work day on the train home. 🤝 Next-Level Partnerships We teamed up with some incredible brands, including: Molson Coors Beverage Company 🍺 – Happy Thursdays rolled out across NYC, Chicago, and San Diego Philips Sonicare ✨ – Who knew a 'Best Smile Competition' could be that fun? Ben & Jerry's 🍦 – Serving up sweet scoops to sweeten those connections ODEON Cinemas Group 🍿 – Date nights never looked so good (but really) Myprotein 💪 – Helping singles stay fit for the dating scene Sky Sports ⚽ – Bringing love and game days together FreshDirect 🥗 – Helping us keep it fresh, from the Brooklyn bridge & beyond… to name just a few 📱 Making Digital Magic Happen Our app banners, socials, and emails reached millions—connecting our partners to a vibrant, engaged community of singles. 👫 Connections At the heart of it all: real connections were made. Thousands of matches, first dates, and moments that matter. (And hey, we’re still waiting for that Thursday wedding invite! We know there's been loads) ⚡️So what’s next? Well that would be telling 😉 but what I can say is 2025, we’re coming for you—bigger events, bigger partnerships, and even bigger opportunities for singles to meet IRL. To all the brands we had the pleasure of creating magic with, to everyone who showed up for themselves this year; stepped out of their comfort zone and took a chance —you’re what makes Thursday magic. ✨ Here’s to creating meaningful experiences globally - with love and of course Thursdays 💋 #IRLDating #YearInReview #ThursdayDating

It is with great sadness that we share news of the tragic and unexpected passing of our dear friend and Thursday colleague, Harry Savage. Harry had played a central role at the heart of our team heading up global partnerships since 2021, and all who knew him would have seen his high energy, positivity and colourful personality in full flow. He threw himself into events, charmed partners and brought joy to the rest of the team. Talk of teams becoming friends was never truer than with Harry. He was very much at the core of making Thursday what it is today, and the company won't be the same without him. Harry was always the optimist. No idea was ever too much or too silly and he was forever willing to go above and beyond for anyone. We remember fondly when Harry insisted that he should be the face of the Thursday Ski Trip, only to find out a few weeks later when he arrived at the resort, that he had in fact, never skied before. Harry never liked the idea of being a beginner at anything and so in true Harry fashion, he was on red runs the following day. We know our team and our community are strong and will pull together, and we will all do our best to build on what Harry brought to Thursday by continuing to keep the energy he embodied front and centre. All our thoughts are with his family and loved ones and we will miss our friend immeasurably.

My Air Miles are going through the roof ✈️

🎙️ "I'm just going for it, booking in brunches, lunches, apres bars, been looking around bloody igloos like I'm some sort of eskimo, nightclubs you name it. If you thought last year was good, honestly this year is going to be exceptional!" 🎥 We've sent Harry Savage on a very important mission this week: To do a recce in Val Thorens for our LuvSki 2024 trip and confirm the itinerary for the biggest singles ski trip to hit the slopes 🫡 There you have it LIVE from Val Thorens from our very own "Harry on a recce" We're getting really close to capacity for this year's trip.

What makes Thursday different from other dating apps? It’s not women making the first move - Bumble Inc. It’s not our Nobel-prize winning algorithm - Hinge And we hope it’s not the “Hey you up?” late night messages - Tinder Thursday’s magic happens in the real world. Bringing singles together IRL at our thursdayº Events 👀 Since November we’ve been growing our communities across 60 cities around the world and due to the uptake we’ve experienced, we’re doubling down! 🃏 Part of this expansion involves having a physical presence in them, so we've restructured and are moving away from our London hub and into our "Mr Worldwide" era - thank you Pitbull for the inspo 🎙️ With that in mind, if you live in a bustling city that could use some Thursday IRL magic and want to be part of it then please check out our City Rep application 💕 #JustaBarEveryoneSingle https://lnkd.in/dXw-Pg5Q
