Put your brand in the room where Tampa Bay singles actually meet.
We bring Tampa Bay singles together in person, in bars, lounges and restaurants from Downtown and Ybor to Westshore and St. Pete. Sponsor a night, a series or a whole season, and your product is in guests’ hands at the exact moment they’re relaxed, social and paying attention.
A live audience you can’t buy online.
Speed Date Tampa has hosted in-person speed dating nights across Tampa Bay since 2008, and our calendar reaches singles on both sides of the bay. Our guests are adults who came out on purpose: to meet people, try a new place and have a good night. That is a receptive crowd in a good mood, not an impression someone scrolls past.
Every night is grouped by age range, and some are built around a community or a part of the bay, so you can pick the audience you actually want instead of paying for everyone.
What you can offer
We’re happy to build a package around whatever you have to offer:
- Product samples for a gift bag every guest takes home
- A giveaway or raffle prize announced by the host during the night
- Drink or menu specials if you’re a spirits, wine, beer or food brand
- A co-branded themed night built around your product or launch
- A guest discount code we include in the event confirmation and reminder emails
- A straightforward cash sponsorship of one event, one part of the bay, or one age group for a season
What you get
- Your logo and a short mention on the event page and in the confirmation and reminder emails for that event
- A shout-out from the host on the night, when everyone is listening
- Product placement on the tables, a display at check-in, or a table of your own at the venue
- The option to have one of your people on site to talk to guests
- A short post-event summary: who came, what was handed out, how it went
Who it works for
Spirits, wine and beer brands. Restaurants, bars and food makers. Beauty, grooming and fashion. Fitness and wellness. Local Tampa Bay makers and services, and the people singles hire when they’re putting themselves out there: photographers, stylists, coaches. If you’re not sure your brand fits, ask. We vet every partner so the night stays fun for our guests, and we’ll tell you honestly if it isn’t a match.
How it works
- Tell us about your brand and what you’d like to offer. A few sentences through our contact form is enough to start.
- We propose a package: a single night, a series on one side of the bay, or an age group for a season, with the events, dates and what we’ll do for you spelled out.
- We run it, hand out what needs handing out, and report back after the event.
