Mark Brooks: I guided Cupid's acquisition and integration of Predating.comin 2004. It wasn't easy, but it's a marriage made in heaven for
Cupid. Cupid knows radio. Radio loves events. Cupid will
eventually be a hot acquisition target. This event marks the
completion of the integration. Who else will step up to the mark and
consider events, en masse? Events are double edged sword.

Users rave about great events. Mediocre events are not
worthwhile. Bad events are poison to your brand. The
founder of Predating did an A1 job of systematising and perfecting
speed dating, prime for Cupid to acquire and weave into their
offerings. A true differentiator.
