Hire Us

We're the Internet dating business specialists. Courtland Brooks was started in 2005 and is a new kind of business consultancy & agency. We work exclusively with Internet dating companies. Occasionally we also help best-in-class service providers to approach industry executives in an intelligent manner.  Please go here if you are offering a service or product to the dating industry.


We're a team of extremely experienced Internet dating professionals who are passionate about the dating business and the cause of helping dating companies unlock value and help the world find more love and connection. 

For the price of a marketing manager, you can access our team to advise you on strategy, help you get your branding and marketing and product right, and professionally manage media relations in a way no other  consultancy or agency can.

Here's what you can expect.  On the first day of engagement, we'll have a 90-minute start-up call. On the call, we'll get introduced, and our team will ask you lots of questions. On the Friday of the first week of engagement, we'll deliver an action plan for the first 90 days of engagement. That plan will then be loaded into Teamwork.co,m where we'll collaborate daily and see us working directly from the plan. You'll have more visibility on our work than if we were sitting next to you in your office. Our team is a distributed workforce, so we have to be extremely well organized. 

As your needs change, we change and can rotate the team members out. There are 30+ people on the team now. We have three levels of team members on the Courtland Brooks team. Our core team members have been with us for 10+ years on average and do most of the work. Then, we have special advisors who are mid-level specialty experts. The newest addition to our offerings is the Instant Advisory Board (IAB). The IAB is made up of former industry C-level dating executives who can advise from an unprecedented level of expertise. We're an International team. 

Pay for great people, not fancy offices. When you engage the Courtland Brooks team, you can be sure you're paying for great people, not expensive offices or luscious expense accounts. We're super efficient on several levels. It would simply not be possible to bring the amazing team that we've built together into a single office. We give our team the freedom to work from wherever they want, whenever they want, on interesting dating company projects for growth-oriented companies.

We're value-priced. For ongoing access to our unique team, our services are available from $1500 USD (or alternative currency) per week on a 1-year basis. 
We only work on retainer and never do project work. We really like and need to feel like we're part of your team. This inspires us to do great work. However, you have flexibility with us. You can give us 30 days notice at any time if your circumstances change, or 15 days notice if you're less than happy with our services.  We power the Internet Dating Excellence Association.  Schedule a call to discuss our offerings.
