The New Economics of Dating

PR Campaign
Friday 4th September, 2026

Zelle commissioned a survey exploring how rising costs are changing dating for Gen Z and millennials. The hook was the relatable tension between romance and money, with findings on dating debt, splitting bills, free activities and financial compatibility earning coverage in Axios.

Why it worked: It quantified a cultural taboo—dating debt and money-over-chemistry—tying proprietary stats to inflation news, giving journalists fresh, headline-ready tension.

The lesson: Consider fielding a quick poll that reframes a private behavior as a measurable cost tradeoff, with one shocking stat and a named villain.
