BUMBLE
We were given the freedom to create a newsworthy and visually appealing concept for dating app Bumble during our famous Kingsday. As Bumble is all about female empowerment and equality, we took the opportunity to solve one of the biggest challenges for women. It is a common problem that there are not enough public restrooms for women. Bumble set out for change and created ‘Bumble Hives’ at different locations in Amsterdam. During one of the biggest and busiest bank holidays in The Netherlands: Koningsdag. Thousands of women were able to use the bumble bathrooms , a calm, clean and safe space for women, and everyone who identifies as woman.
