Human beings need connection like Brits need tea–especially in a time of a crisis. Now, as we all adjust to this temporary “norm”, we want to highlight the importance of staying connected with others and bringing each other moments of joy. Though we have to be separated right now, we are all experiencing similar emotions and asking the same questions. We can use this solidarity to feel close to one another even when we’re physically apart. With social distancing, it can feel like we’re missing out on...a lot. But those special little moments are still possible. With this film, we want to show ..read more

We can still act with confidence, even if we’re staying at home.  So you want to keep connecting and going on dates? You still can. Just from your home. Enter: Video ..read more

Success on Bumble can look however you want it to — whether that’s finding true love, having a great fling, turning a romantic relationship into a platonic friendship, or just gaining some self-confidence back by meeting new people after a breakup. This February we’ve teamed up with Amelia Dimoldenberg, founder and CEO of Chicken Shop Date — a one-of-a-kind dating show where she shares chicken and chips with some of grime and culture's heaviest hitters, including Oscar-nominated actor Daniel Kaluuya, comedian Chabuddy G, and presenter Maya Jama — to launch a campaign celebrating modern love ..read more

There’s no escaping the power of social media over our lives, and it can often be a negative influence. We can feel dependent on digital approval — Instagram likes, for instance. It doesn’t have to be this way, and Bumble is teaming up with mental health and self-love advocate Jada Sezer to help listeners explore how mindfulness can help us ‘unsubscribe’ from negative patterns of behaviour. Launching on March 14th and powered by Sony 4th Floor Creative Group, this new podcast aims to dive into behavioural patterns, identifying negative influences, and encouraging thoughts and actions that can ..read more

Last year’s Female Film Force was such an unprecedented success, we at Bumble have decided to do it again in 2019 — but we’re taking it international. We’re expanding our initiative, which offers grants to aspiring women filmmakers, to those in France and Germany as well as in the UK, where our inaugural competition yielded 1,100 pitches. Once again, we’ll be giving five teams of women filmmakers (writers, directors, or producers) £20,000 (€22,000) each to make a short film, with its theme rooted in Bumble’s values of kindness, respect, and equality. So, why are we doing this? Look no further ..read more

Back in November, Bumble announced its inaugural Making Moves in Music campaign and contest, designed in an effort to close the gender gap for women DJs and producers in a heavily male-dominated industry.

Back in November, Bumble announced its inaugural Making Moves in Music campaign and contest, aimed at helping close the gender gap for women DJs and producers in a heavily male-dominated industry.

Applications close on 31st December 2018 at midnight CET The music industry remains heavily male-dominated. At the largest music businesses, the gender pay gap is more than double the national average: 46 percent at LiveNation and 49 percent at Warner Music UK.

Bumble wants to help change this with Making Moves in Music (MMM), an international campaign and contest designed to give women DJs access to mentorship from ..read more
