TREVVY is not about changing the world. It's about being who you are.
TREVVY started out in March 1999 as a hobbyist website to connect the gay community in Singapore at a time where their presence was largely invisible. The pioneering site has since grown by leaps and bounds from its humble beginnings to become a leading gay media player in Asia. In 2006, TREVVY.COM was launched after a re-branding exercise that saw two highly successful parties with massive turnouts, injecting new life to the local clubbing scene.
TREVVY.COM is a community of over 120,000 registered users. The site counts renowned international brands such as Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Sony BMG, Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, L'Oreal and British Airways amongst its growing slate of advertisers.
TREVVY.COM was awarded the Hitwise Online Performance Award recognizing it as the most visited gay and lesbian website in Singapore, as well as the Arts Supporter Award by Singapore's National Arts Council for its contribution to the local arts scene.
"TREVVY has been an excellent citizen providing the arts and entertainment scene here in Singapore with their backing and their support. For that, we at Dream Academy are grateful not just as a company but as Singaporeans."
Selena Tan, founder of Dream Academy
"Some portals like TREVVY have seen advertising revenues jump 20 to 30 per cent year on year, and figures from online advertising intelligence firm Nielson//NetRatings reveal why - gay websites have some of the highest page viewership and traffic among the 13 or so entertainment websites that are tracked by the firm."

"The site's popularity was underscored... when it held a beauty contest... hundreds of men signed up to strut the catwalk and thousands more queued up on the streets outside for a chance to ogle at them."
