New major marketing drive from match.com urges singles to kick off the New Year with a visit to match.com rather than just waiting for Cupid and Fate

Match.com, the UK’s biggest online dating site, is set to launch a multimillion pound nationwide advertising push to ring in the New Year. The campaign follows hot on the heels of a successful 2008 in which match.com achieved a brand awareness double that of its nearest competitor.

In 2008 match.com focused on tempting people to try online dating and making it the new natural way to find a partner. For 2009, match.com is focused on further extending its leadership role in the UK through brand differentiation using ROI focused marketing initiatives and an ongoing commitment to product innovation to give members the best possible chance to find love.

The new campaign sees the return of Cupid and Fate in a new role as advocates for the match.com brand. The creative features the lazy, comedic duo realising for the very first time that match.com is doing their jobs too well. The hopelessness of both characters simply amplifies match.com’s strengths and benefits such as; the original Six Month Love Guarantee, the brand new personality test and that there are more single people looking for love on match.com than anywhere else.

The campaign urges singles not to wait for Cupid and Fate and visit match.com instead with half the creative dedicated to promoting match.com’s brand new personality test. Formulated by world renowned anthropologist Dr Helen Fisher the ‘match insights’ test is designed to help members find real love by understanding their personality type.

Jason Stockwood, International MD at match.com commented, “We believe that love is too important to be taken seriously which is why all our campaigns have a sense of humour. The new campaign is entertaining and motivating, urging people not to wait for Cupid and Fate in their quest for love and visit match.com instead. There are now hundreds of thousands of match success stories and we’re looking forward to increasing that number in 2009 by providing the best possible experience and making match.com the brand of choice for online dating.”

The new ‘Don’t Wait For Cupid and Fate’ adverts consist of a series of 30″ and 10″ spots which will run across ITV, C4, C5 and satellite channels in heavy weight bursts across the year. The campaign has been developed by match.com’s long-standing creative agency hanft raboy and partners (HRP), with media buying handled by Initiative. The key demographic for the adverts is 25-34 year old women.

Once again up-and-coming actors Glenn Hirst and Spencer Jones play Cupid and Fate respectively and the campaign was directed by Nick Jones, from Another Film Company, known for his work with top comedians Simon Pegg, Mitchell & Webb and the 118 118 commercial campaigns with Emma Johnston as producer.

November saw the launch of match insights, match.com’s brand new personality test. Designed by Dr Helen Fisher the test brings science to the art of single dating to the site for the very first time and it has been completed by over 60,000 people already. To follow will be a premium service for subscribers, ‘daily insights’ which delivers the very best matches each day based on their personality type.

Tracesmart Recently Assisted A Remarkable Trace Involving A Son From Colwyn Bay In Search Of His Long Lost Dad

Michael Taylor had never met his father, David, until they were reunited for the first time last week. The father and son met each other on Michael’s 25th birthday, making the occasion even more special. Michael initially contacted Tracesmart in response to the company’s Missing Person Campaign which has been running since March, and has helped to reunite many other families in time for Christmas.

The campaign has seen a mixture of family circumstances; all involving people looking to find relatives, many with no idea of how to perform an electoral roll search. Tracesmart has a dedicated team of researchers, each working individually on a search, providing excellent support for those hoping to find relatives. Michael had thought about searching for his father for many years, and especially since he recently became a father himself. He had never attempted a people search before and was unaware how to find relatives using the internet, but he was able to provide enough information to the researcher, who in turn found a positive match instantly through Tracesmart’s simple to use people search. Mr Dibben confirmed his details with the researcher, and was overjoyed to hear that Michael was trying to find him. The reunion was made even more extraordinary as Michael and David were found to be living in the same town, only two miles apart! Michael commented “I’m still in shock, I’ve been walking around town all these years, and my Dad may have passed by many times. We now meet up regularly and are planning to spend out first Christmas together, which is going to be fantastic.”

Tracesmart aims to raise awareness of how easy it can be to be reunited with a missing person, and hope that new visitors will log on and try for themselves. Many will be missing a family member or friend this Christmas, which, in a large number of cases can be avoided through an instant people search or address search to check the details are up to date.

“We at Tracesmart are delighted to have helped Michael, and to be involved in reuniting many other families and friends, and especially at this time of year, when Christmas celebrations will highlight the importance of finding those who are missing. We hope to assist even more visitors to find relatives this year and hopefully make this festive season extra special,” added Owen Roberts, Tracesmart’s Communications Manager.
