Bernard Kim: Thanks, John, for the question. When I started working with the Tinder team, I saw a real opportunity for marketing. Frankly, this is an area we need to make more investment to drive a brand story that better reflects all the positive outcomes that Tinder is responsible for. There has actually never been a Tinder global brand campaign before, and it’s been years since we’ve actually had a defined marketing campaign in general. I think that the perception has taken a hold about Tinder is too limited. We want people to come into the platform feeling comfortable whatever their relationship intent is. The team had some really provocative and creative ideas. And this campaign will celebrate all of the relationship possibilities that Tinder creates every single day.
We think that this will drive top-of-funnel growth over time. We intentionally moved Melissa into the Tinder CMO role because she has a track record of big, bold, attention-grabbing campaigns at OkCupid. And I know she and the team will do great things together at Tinder. We’re really excited to roll out our first campaign and see the reaction. Stay tuned.
Operator: The next question comes from Shweta Khajuria with Evercore ISI.
Shweta Khajuria: Most of my questions have been addressed. But if you could please talk about Japan. You mentioned that you’re not seeing much progress there, but that could drive upside. Any sense on when you think that could happen? Or what your — or commentary on what you’re seeing right now? And then the follow-up I have is, how do you — it sounds like you’re very confident now with the guidance, reiterating the reported guidance for the full year. Could you please talk about, Gary, the level of conservatism and/or the confidence you have in delivering to this for both top line and margins?
Gary Swidler : Well, I think on the margin outlook, obviously, that’s much more in our control, and we’ve taken steps that we know are going to lead to more cost discipline. Obviously, we can go further if the conditions dictate. So I feel very confident in the flat or better margins. That is something that we are extremely committed to. I think you rightfully pointed out that based on what we’ve seen so far this year, we feel incremental confidence in our outlook for the year. But as I said in response to Cory’s question, I think it’s really just a little too early, really one month into the year to start further adjusting our outlook. And we tend to try to be conservative and thoughtful when we provide the guidance. So especially in an environment where there’s a lot of uncertainty and a lot of things that remain unknown, I think that’s the right course and the prudent course to take.
So we’re sticking by it. But I think it’s fair to say that what we’ve tried to get across this morning is that the start to the year has been very solid for us. And that is giving us confidence that what we’re seeing is going to come to fruition as the year goes on. Japan is a wildcard. I think that the government there is really trying to take steps to fully get COVID behind it, trying to discourage real from wearing masks and things like that. But as we’ve talked about previously, there’s been a reasonable amount of less socialization in that market because of all the restrictions that came from COVID. And so when kind of society there is going to really rebound back to much more normal levels of socialization is really hard to say. All I can tell you is we haven’t seen it so far.
