BUMBLE’S LATE-SUMMER SOIRÉE AT THE SURF LODGE
B FA
THE BUMBLE HIVE at the Surf Lodge was buzzing last month
when the dating app’s founder, Whitney Wolfe Herd, hosted a summer soirée with the help of Rachel Zoe, Sara Foster, and Erin Foster. Over a candlelit dinner on the beach, an intimate group of guests raised a glass to Bumble’s recent accomplishments. Notables in attendance included Brian Atwood, Christie Brinkley, Gucci Westman, Lise Evans, Sarah Bray, Jamie Tisch, Andrea Lieberman, Andrew Marks, and Ashley Brokaw. Open through Labor Day, Bumble’s pop-up Hive at the Surf Lodge has
served as a cozy space for guests to enjoy drinks, snacks, interactions with influencers at events, and access to exclusive Bumble swag. In addition to Bumble Hive, the company has enjoyed a wealth of success as of late, having most recently introduced its Bumble Bizz vertical. This platform allows users to connect with like-minded professionals to learn about each other, share knowledge, and ultimately find their next career. The brand has proven itself as one of the fastest-growing networking companies through the expansion of such initiatives. SEPTEMBER 2018 149
