Fidelity Couples Money Survey
Fidelity Investments commissioned and published an original survey showing many couples avoid money conversations—24% admit hiding a financial secret—and promoted tips like ‘money dates’ to encourage dialogue. The proprietary research and headline statistics served as the hook for media coverage about relationship and money dynamics.
Why it worked: It paired proprietary, timely stats (24% hiding money secrets; 49% avoiding talks) with a counterintuitive, solution-driven hook (“money dates”).
The lesson: Consider fielding a quick, original poll that reveals a relatable tension, then package a simple, nameable fix reporters can lift verbatim.
