QuackQuack 'Soft Exit' Survey
QuackQuack published original survey research of 9,347 Indian daters showing a shift from blunt ghosting to gentler rejection tactics (delayed replies, gradual distancing, ‘soft ghosting’), packaging the findings as a cultural trend to generate press coverage and conversation about modern dating etiquette.
Why it worked: It reframed proprietary app data as a counter-trend—ghosting is out, softer exits are in—quantified with city and gender splits for newsy proof.
The lesson: Consider pitching fresh behavioral data that flips a common gripe, with clear percentages and named sub-trends reporters can headline and quote.
