Group dating website Compa agrees sponsorship deal with new entertainment blog - hecklerspray.comReleased on = June 12, 2005, 12:51 pm Press Release Author = Ed Fitzhugh Industry = Management Press Release
Summary = LONDON, UK, 10 June 2005: Compa (http://www.compa.co.uk),
the UK online group dating service, has agreed an exclusive sponsorship
with a newly-launched commercial weblog - hecklerspray.com (http://www.hecklerspray.com)
- Press Release Body = Hecklerspray.com is a London-based website for the world’s beleaguered entertainment fans and has attracted more than 180,000 users in May, despite only moving out of beta on 1 May. Compa.co.uk
has agreed a fixed fee to take a tenancy slot on hecklerspray’s
homepage for the rest of 2005, to drive its users towards a range
of group dating “We talked about a CPM deal but felt that a fixed tenancy would allow us to benefit from hecklerspray’s rapid growth, while providing some upfront cash for what is a new start-up,” said Compa CEO Ed Fitzhugh. “It is an arrangement that works for both of us.” Hecklerspray editor Stuart Heritage commented: “It made a lot of sense do agree a tenancy deal with Compa. We’ve got a few partnerships in place already and more in the pipeline, both for hecklerspray and other commercial blogs in the offing.” Have you added your group to Compa yet? New Compa users can open up accounts free of charge, though it will introduce subscription access once critical mass has been achieved. Since starting
up in November 2004, when Compa became the first company to introduce
the group dating concept to the UK, there has been significant buzz
about this new form of dating, with coverage in tabloid and national
newspapers, as well as TV and Why so much
fuss? Well, Compa’s users love searching for like-minded groups
to arrange a night out in order to meet new friends, with no pressure
or strings attached. Groups can be colleagues, flatmates, friends,
family, and/or third party With Compa, online dating becomes fun again, since people behave differently in groups, as any sociologist will tell you. The chances of finding love (or a new boyfriend / girlfriend) are much higher with Compa, since users meet 2-6 people on each date (you choose). <Ends> Press enquiries: To talk to Compa please contact Ed Fitzhugh on 07793 721444 or email ed@compa.co.uk To talk to hecklerspray contact hecklerspray@gmail.com.
