WHO: Bumble, the female-first networking app, and Moxy Hotels, Marriott International’s playful experiential brand, teamed up to launch ‘BumbleSpot #attheMoxy’ with an event last night in New York City hosted by actress, activist, and designer Jaime King with music by DJ duo Coco & Breezy. The event took place at Moxy Hotels’ brand new property, Moxy NYC Downtown, located at 26 Ann Street.
WHAT: The evening kicked off with a special event preview in conversation with Jaime King, Andee Olson, director of partnerships at Bumble, and Vicki Poulos, Senior Global Brand Director at Moxy Hotels, moderated by award-winning journalist, author and Bumble Advisor Elaine Welteroth.
Guests at the event, which was open to Bumble users, had access to Bumble’s famous Profile Doctors, who helped them get the Bumble profile seal of approval, inclusive of professional headshots taken onsite, and improv workshops with Moxy partner Upright Citizens Brigade to learn skills to break the ice with a Bumble connection.
Bumble users and Moxy guests visiting a ‘BumbleSpot #attheMoxy’ through the end of the year will experience a number of fun offerings and benefits, including food discounts and a custom drink menu of 2-for-1 specialty cocktails from “My Fair Lady” to the “Stinger,” for those who show the Bumble app upon ordering. Moxy’s complimentary work spaces will also be available for Bumble Bizz users to empower the entrepreneur on the go. Additionally, there will be fun twists on some of Moxy’s regular bar programming, such as giant Jenga with Truth or Dare quotes on Jenga bricks to break the ice.
