The agency Terri & Sandy helped with JDate’s larger rebrand initiative, “Get Chosen.”
JDate owner Spark Networks, which also owns ChristianMingle.com, says it spends $3.4 million a year on advertising.
Spark Networks CEO Greg Liberman said JDates, like many marketing efforts these days, operates with a “millennial mind-set.”
“The primary reason we crowdsourced a component of the ‘Get Chosen’ campaign was to engage directly with and give a voice to our members, ” Liberman told AdWeek. “What better way to ensure the campaign is genuine and true to our millennial target than to give them an opportunity to help us create the campaign?”
The campaign will include a Times Square billboard ad.
