IDEA GOLD (Inquire for Pricing):

Consulting & Agency
We deliver tailored insights and services for business development, product strategy, and marketing.  
For the price of a marketing manager, you get access to our seasoned team of Internet dating professionals. We will help you with your strategy initially and then quickly identify where we can be of assistance with business development, product strategy and marketing, on an ongoing basis. Prior member clients include the likes of plentyoffish.com (sold to Match Group), Parship Meet Group, and friend.ly (sold to Facebook), along with many smaller companies.  This is our core offering and is powered by Courtland Brooks.  

Strategy Sessions
Regular meetings with Mark Brooks.


​IDEA Mastermind Group
We form a mastermind group for you, made up of CEOs who are generally non-competitive.  Participants discuss industry, dynamics, and challenges and how to solve them. 
 


​​Instant Advisory Board
Over the years we have served many executives and when they leave the industry, we occasionally ask them to continue contributing to the dating industry by advising. We have upper echelon leaders available for one hour consults on tough problems.


​Featured Job Listings & Candidate Connections
IDEA Gold members receive priority placement job listings at internetdatingjobs.com.  More importantly, we can mine our database of 1300+ dating industry professionals who have worked in the internet dating industry in the past and recommend candidates for your hard-to-fill leadership roles.
