Bumble launches ‘Find Them On Bumble Bizz’ marketing campaign
MUMBAI: Bumble, the women-first social connection app with over 60 million users worldwide debuted ‘Find Them On Bumble Bizz’, a fully-integrated, multi-market campaign celebrating 25 remarkable Indian women with inspiring stories of personal and professional success. This is the second in the brand’s #FindThemOnBumble series, following the incredible success of a New York City launch in fall 2018. The campaign format is localised by market and is expected to be developed for additional markets in the Americas, Europe, and Asia before the end of the year.
The campaign features Bumble Global Advisor and investor, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, along with 25 inspiring women from Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore, including Akanksha Hazari, Alicia Souza, Ambika Anand, Anjula Acharia, Anusha Dandekar, Devita Saraf, Dr. Kiran Lohia, Dr. Karishma Vijan, Falguni Peacock, Hanna Stromgren Khan, Imaan Javan, Mitali Wadhwa & Sharnamli Mehra Adhar, Namrata Purohit, Pooja Dhingra, Pernia Qureshi, Shilo Shiv Suleman and Tanvie Hans, to name a few.
Highlighted by an extensive outdoor, bus shelter, corporate park, press and print campaign, ‘Find Them On Bumble Bizz’ arrives after Bumble spent months connecting with real users in India to learn their personal stories across love, friendship, business and living an empowered life. What resulted is a collection of portraits and images that will be featured on dozens of outdoor placements across neighbourhoods in cultural and commercial hubs.
The goal of the campaign is to not only underline success stories, but also generate awareness about the Bumble Bizz community where ‘making the first move’ could potentially introduce a user to a mentor, a new client or a job opportunity. In keeping with this, each woman in the campaign represents a distinct, yet relatable voice and aspiration that modern Indian professionals are seeking as they look to expand their experience and networks.
"It has truly been an exciting six months since our launch in India. Every new user and first move made reiterates our belief that the modern Indian woman is online for myriad of reasons and wants an experience built with women in mind,” said Bumble founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd. “Our goal at Bumble is to create an inclusive and empowering experience for people to connect, and now that we're expanding globally, we're seeing our mission resonates across many cultures. Find Them on Bumble Bizz brings to life the result of these efforts. Each of these dynamic women have continually led by example, proudly claimed their place in the spotlight, while helping set the stage for future generations of women.”
Priyanka Chopra Jonas shares her excitement, “Intelligent, inspiring, passionate, hardworking, ambitious… Indian women are all this and more and I am so proud to be part of the ‘Find Them on Bumble Bizz’ campaign that puts a spotlight on some amazing women and celebrates their individuality and achievements. Our goal at Bumble has always been to constantly encourage women to make the first move, be it for business, friends or love. The immense number of these varied connections that have been made on Bumble in the short time since launch in India, is a sign that women across the country have truly embraced this simple, yet powerful idea.”
Coinciding with the launch of the campaign is the news of Bumble’s recent positive growth numbers in India. In only six months, women have made the first move on Bumble nearly three million times. Moreover, over a third of Bumble users in India are women and 60 percent of those women are active users of Bumble for more than just dating.
NATIONAL: Amazon Ads has laid out a sharply tech-led vision for the advertising industry in 2026, arguing that artificial intelligence, streaming TV and creator partnerships will combine to turn brand building into a more precise, performance-driven business.
At the heart of the shift, the company says, is the fusion of AI with Amazon’s vast trove of shopping, browsing and streaming signals, allowing advertisers to move beyond blunt reach metrics to campaigns designed around real customer behaviour.
“The future of advertising is not about reaching more people, but the right people with messages that resonate,” said Amazon Ads India head and vice president Girish Prabhu. “By combining AI with deep customer insights, we help brands move from broadcasting campaigns to having meaningful conversations wherever audiences spend their time.”
One of the biggest changes, according to Amazon Ads, will be the collapse of the wall between media planning and creative development. Retail media, powered by first-party data, is increasingly shaping everything from brand discovery to final purchase, pushing marketers to design campaigns around audience insight rather than internal instinct.
AI is also moving from a support tool to a creative engine. Agentic AI, which automates and accelerates production, is expected to make high-quality creative accessible even to small businesses, compressing weeks of work into hours and giving challengers the ability to compete with larger brands on speed and scale.
Behind the scenes, AI-driven analytics will take on a bigger role in campaign optimisation, identifying patterns, spotting opportunities and recommending actions that would previously have required teams of analysts.
Streaming TV is another big battleground. With India’s video streaming audience now above 600 million and connected TV users at 129.2 million in 2025, advertisers are set to treat streaming not just as a branding channel but as a performance engine, measured increasingly by sales, sign-ups and bookings rather than just reach.
Finally, Amazon Ads sees creators and contextual advertising reshaping how brands tell stories. Creators will act less like influencers and more like long-term partners, while scene-aware ads on streaming platforms will allow brands to insert hyper-relevant offers into the flow of what viewers are watching.
Taken together, Amazon Ads argues, these shifts mark a move towards advertising that is both more human and more measurable, where AI handles the complexity, and creativity does the persuading.
