TrueDater, Inc.
www.TrueDater.com (Angel Funded Start-up)
DiamondPR launched this online dating site increasing traffic from zero to 400,000 unique visitors per month in 10 months. (TrueDater performs no advertising). This story has an interesting human-interest component which needed to come to the forefront – “why do people misrepresent themselves in online dating?” There were many visual and statistical components to provide to media, geographically dispersed TrueDater users, dating survey statistics; all the while making sure that TrueDater is seen in the right light, as a beacon of truth and honesty, a grass roots community movement to make all of online dating better.
