Online dating has been around for years from websites like match.com to eHarmony. However, within the past decade, the power of mobile phone applications has taken over most industries, including when it comes to finding love. With companies like Tinder, Hinge, and of course, Bumble, users are able to constantly swipe to find “the one” at times that are convenient to them: on a bus, airplane, waiting for food – you name it!
Bumble is one that has taken a different strategic approach. Bumble allows, in heterosexual relationships, the female to make the first move. Founded in 2014 by Whitney Wolfe Heard, who in fact was a cofounder of Tinder, Bumble’s location-based algorithm allowed women the ability to respond within 24 hours of a match being made, and if not the match would disappear. In this blog, Hollywood Branded discusses Bumble’s inspiring founder, their IPO, and the work we have done with the company.

Since their creation, memes have been a key tool in bringing people together to help them relate to a single piece of media. Actually, the term “meme” is older than you think; the word came from Richard Dawkins’ 1976 book; “The Selfish Gene,” in which he introduced the term to mean “how ideas replicate, mutate, and evolve.” Looking at how memes are circulated today, this definition makes perfect sense.
As we’ve seen, memes have most recently evolved into being used by companies and brands to appeal to a younger audience, and most of the time it works. So how can your company get in on this viral marketing strategy, and how can it benefit your business in the long run? In this blog, Hollywood Branded will discuss the history of memes, all the ways they can benefit your brand, and how you can get started on a social media strategy.

Podcasting hit its stride in 2014 and has been growing in popularity ever since. Borrowing from other familiar mediums such as radio and blogging, podcasting created a new way to connect with consumers by taking on the tone of an intimate conversation on the listeners topic of choice. This connection between creator and consumer made podcasting an appealing platform for brands to advertise through.
Similar to radio-style ad placements, these ad placements are effective in spreading a message to a desired demographic. Some brands have taken this one step further to create a podcast solely to promote their brand and message through related entertaining content. In this blog, Hollywood Branded will explore examples of branded podcasts and how they work to build a brand’s image and business.
