BFF is central to that strategy, unlocking long-term member value through real relationships rooted in trust, shared interests, and purpose. That's why BFF, our dedicated friendship and community-finding app, just made it even easier to find your people with Interest Tags, a new way to match with others who love what you love. Whether you’re into: 📚 True crime book clubs 🛼 Roller derby 🥨 Football Sunday recipes 🍯 .... or even urban beekeeping BFF is how you find your people safely, intentionally, and without the awkward icebreakers. Whether you’re new in town, looking to grow your circle, or just want to meet people who share your interests, BFF is here for the journey, to make those connections easier (and a lot more fun). 💛 #ForYourFriends #BFF #FriendshipGoals #FindYourPeople #ConnectionStartsHere

    Chief Marketing Officer @ Bumble Inc

    I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been promoted to Chief Marketing Officer at Bumble! 💛 Whenever I mention I work at Bumble, I hear incredible stories of people finding their person - or their people - on our apps (Bumble Date, BFF): a life partner, a best friend, a new community. Helping people find love, connection, and happiness is as purpose-driven as it gets, and it’s why Bumble’s mission resonates so deeply with me. As I look ahead, I’m energized to help shape the next chapter of the Bumble brand - reimagining what love and connection look like today, and sharing how our products help people feel seen, safe, and supported at every stage of their journey. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who’s been part of my marketing career — mentors, colleagues, and collaborators who’ve shaped my path. And over these past 10 months at Bumble, I want to give a special shoutout to the incredibly talented, creative, and thoughtful team of marketers and leaders who inspire me every day. Thank you Whitney Wolfe Herd for this opportunity. Excited to keep building, creating, and growing. Let’s go! 🚀 🐝

  • We’re back. And we’ve got stories to tell. 💛 While we've been a little quiet here, we’ve been busy elsewhere: building trust, sparking new connections, and celebrating real love in all its forms. ✨ We launched For the Love of Love, spotlighting real couples who met on Bumble to celebrate the power of real love and remind us all of the transformational connections that start on Bumble. 🫶 As part of our wider Bumble app refresh shaped by member feedback, we introduced a dedicated Dating Advice Hub to make dating online feel more supportive, less overwhelming, and more human. 🛡️ We reinforced our commitment to building safe online spaces with the roll out of new trust & safety features across Bumble Date. 👯♀️ We launched a brand-new BFF app in the U.S. to help you find your people, embrace a new era of friendship, and to be the place where communities form, grow, and thrive. 🚧 And yes… we’re still working hard on what's next for the Love Company! We believe love - in all its forms - is the foundation to a happy, healthy life. It's who we are and what we celebrate. More soon. But for now, we’re happy to be back 💛 #BuiltWithLove #ForTheLoveOfLove #BFF #TheLoveCompany #ProductWithHeart https://lnkd.in/e_s66mQ6

  • To our Bumble Community: Bumble was founded in 2014 to bring more love into the world and create a place where connection felt safe, empowering, and real. But, over the years, we have not always lived up to that commitment and finding love online has sometimes lost its way. Every decision we make will now be driven by one goal—bringing love back to the center of it all. We are committed to you, and want to be the best partner to you in your quest for love. We are taking action now and we’re hard at work to deliver: 💛 A dating experience that puts you first—your safety, wellbeing, trust, and your success. 💛 Technology that works for you—showing you real, relevant, high-quality connections.  💛 Delivering you real value when you pay for offerings and features within the app.  💛 A platform that listens. New ways to share your voice and connect with your community are coming soon, because Bumble should be built alongside the people who use it. This is more than an update. It’s a promise. We are here to do the work, and we want to do it with you. Let’s make dating, and Bumble, something you love again. Have suggestions on how we can better your Bumble experience? Visit our blog to hear more from our Founder & CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd and share your feedback: https://lnkd.in/ewZMnC7V. Your voice matters.

    We're excited to announce the launch of several new features designed to help our global community make more meaningful, authentic, and safe connections. Today, women are seeking safety, authenticity, and depth in their dating lives more than ever and are prioritizing meaningful connections that align with their values and shared interests. As we continue to innovate and better serve our community, we are excited to introduce these new features to foster safer and more compatible dating. 💛 Connection Over Common Ground: According to Bumble’s research*, 91% of Gen-Z respondents shared that it is important for them to only see profiles of people that they have shared interests and values with. Discover is a new, personalized experience to meet people you are most compatible with -- showcasing relevant matches based on shared datings intentions, interests, and communities. 💛 Peace of Mind When Meeting IRL: Bumble’s research shows 4 in 5 Gen-Z (80%) surveyed* are more likely to go on a date with someone who has their profile ID verified, and 78% agree that knowing who they are speaking to is who they say they are is critical in their decision to use a dating app. ID Verification allows members to verify their profile with ID, and Share Date allows members to share date details with a trusted contact outside of the app for added reassurance. 💛 Continuing Kind Connections: 94% of those surveyed* shared it was important to make sure dating apps are doing their part to stop bad behavior online before it starts, and 94% agree it’s important to know their experience on a dating app will be respectful. The expansion of Review Before You Send to your chat messages reinforces our mission of Kind Connections and commitment to fostering a respectful and positive environment for all members. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e2njh69U. * Research commissioned by Bumble between February 20-28, 2025 of 2,501 people ages 18-35 in the U.S. who are actively using dating apps. ** Research was conducted by Bumble using internal polling between September 19 - 23, 2024 with a sample of 41,294 Bumble members between 18-35 around the world.

  • 💡 According to our study with IPSOS, 69% of Spanish singles aged 18-26 would love to attend an event organized by a dating app.* The reason: it eliminates the awkward "blank space" and makes meeting people easier, taking the pressure off that first date. That's why we recently partnered with the Barcelona Half Marathon, Europe’s second-largest half marathon (33K+ runners), to bring its community together. 🏃🏼♀️ From motivational Bumble quotes lining the course, including the Bumble Bridge near the finish, to the Bumble Café with Good News offering free coffee, good vibes, yellow flowers, and fun surprises, this was about more than just running -- it was about connection. We showcased how both dating and running thrive on shared experiences, endurance, and compatibility. And the fun doesn’t stop here. We’ll soon be hosting running sessions in Madrid and Barcelona, partnering with local clubs. Stay tuned for more here: https://lnkd.in/eNPZx3sk. 👟 *Bumble study conducted through the IPSOS Digital platform through surveys carried out between 3 and 5 February 2024, with a sample of 1,000 Spanish men and women aged between 18 and 50. #RunClubs #Community #Marketing #BumbleIRL

  • We’re still buzzing from an unforgettable Valentine’s season 💛 From London to NYC, we celebrated love in all its forms with two incredible events that brought our mission to life. Amelia’s Valentine’s Affair x Bumble in London 🇬🇧 We teamed up with the one and only Amelia Dimoldenberg for her annual Valentine’s Party at an exclusive members club, where Bumble’s signature touches set the scene for a night of romance, fun, and friendship. We’re still swooning over the magic of the evening—thank you to British Vogue for the coverage: https://lnkd.in/e6r9buMe. Cosmopolitan x Bumble LOVE BALL in New York City 🇺🇸 In NYC, we partnered with Cosmopolitan to hard launch the inaugural LOVE BALL at BOOM, The Standard. We toasted to the romance of the holiday with industry leaders, influencers, and Cosmo’s new Editor-in-Chief, Willa Bennett.

    Looking for a break from the traditional couple-focused content flooding your newsfeed? This Valentine's Day, we're shaking things up! We've partnered with British heartthrob Aaron Pierre to bring a new perspective to the holiday--celebrating not just romance, but also singles by bringing a little bit of cheeky lightheartedness to the day. As our second Valentine's Day Cover Star, Aaron shares exclusive insights on love, vulnerability, and the power of authentic connections. 💬💛 Building on the excitement from last year's Valentine’s Day celebration featuring Barry Keoghan, this year’s partnership is all about reminding people that dating can, and should be fun.  Aaron's POV: "If you’re dating at the moment, my best advice is to look out for energy that matches your own and the rest will fall into place.” Check out the video here: https://lnkd.in/eqS8X-2T #ValentinesDay #dating #connections
