Ba&sh partners with dating app Bumble for international summer campaign
PremiumBa&sh
The company said that the “partnership is obvious: both the dating app and the ready-to-wear brand were founded by women, and they both focus on female empowerment and the development of self-esteem.
While Ba&sh emphasises sisterhood and the power of the female collective, Bumble has created a safe and serene meeting place for women. So the idea naturally arose: what if Ba&sh dressed Bumble users to boost their confidence before a first date?”
It’s part of a trend that sees brands going to the digital places where their likely customers are spending their time, in order to maximise their chances of reaching those customers. And in-app marketing is becoming increasingly popular for labels and retailers.
So, until 13 June, Bumble members are being invited to discover Ba&sh’s profile when using ‘date’ mode. By adding the profile to their favourites, they access a special discount on the season’s collection.
And early on Thursday evening, the company also opened a Ba&sh x Bumble Power Room in the Elizabeth Street boutique in New York. There, a team of professional stylists, hairdressers and make-up artists were on hand for users of the app, “in preparation for the Bumble date they will attend afterwards”.
The partnership was launched by fashion and lifestyle influencer SerenaKrystal Bick.
