Los Angeles, CA, Nov. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thumzup Media Corporation ("Thumzup" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: TZUP), a leading provider of innovative social media branding and marketing solutions which allow businesses and brands to pay customers and fans cash through Venmo and PayPal for their posts on social media, is pleased to announce that its proprietary ad-tech platform has now attracted over 500 advertisers, reflecting a robust 202% growth since the beginning of the year.

Since January 1, 2024, Thumzup has grown from 183 advertisers to 554 as of October 31, 2024, underscoring the platform's escalating appeal across diverse business sectors.

This substantial growth of Thumzup’s innovative approach to digital advertising is indicative of a broader shift in the industry towards more direct and rewarding forms of consumer engagement. Traditional advertising models are increasingly seen as intrusive and ineffective, prompting advertisers to seek out more organic and user-centric ways to connect with their audiences. Thumzup's platform capitalizes on this trend by turning everyday social media users into brand ambassadors, thereby fostering authentic interactions and building brand loyalty.

“Our platform's capability to engage consumers directly through social media and reward them for their endorsements has met with enthusiastic response from a wide spectrum of businesses,” stated Thumzup Chief Executive Officer Robert Steele. “This includes retailers, restaurants, home furnishings, clothes, coffee shops and consumer brands in beverages and breakfast cereals. The Thumzup platform is continuing to resonate with advertisers, and we are thrilled by the continued adoption of our platform.”

The Thumzup app is available for download on the App Store and Google Play.
