Thumzup (NASDAQ: TZUP), a Los Angeles-based company at the forefront of modernizing the social media branding and marketing industry with its unique platform designed to connect advertisers directly with everyday social media users, just announced an initiative designed to assist small businesses impacted by the recent wildfires that spread across Los Angeles. The initiative covers $10,000 in Thumzup credits and additional resources and technical support to ensure that the beneficiaries maximize its impact (https://ibn.fm/ntPFZ).

The Los Angeles fires started on Jan. 7 and remain active. Over 50,000 acres have been torched, 16,000 structures razed to the ground, and tens of thousands of people displaced. In addition, there have been 28 reported casualties, with economic losses estimated at between $135 billion and $150 billion (https://ibn.fm/ysLHp).

For a long time, small businesses have served as the heart of Los Angeles. Many have shut down entirely, while others have been forced to relocate. These businesses feed thousands of families daily, and the devastation caused by the wildfires extends far beyond the business owners and their employees. Thumzup hopes that its initiative will help these businesses rebuild and get back on their feet.

“Thumzup is deeply saddened by the devastation these wildfires have brought to our community,” noted Robert Steele, Thumzup’s CEO.

“Small businesses and residents are the heart of Los Angeles, and we hope this initiative provides a tangible way to help businesses rebuild while also putting cash into the hands of the people who support them,” he added (https://ibn.fm/0FeLB).

Both existing Thumzup customers and those new to the platform can apply to receive the credits. Eligible businesses can receive up to $200 in credits per location, deposited directly into their Thumzup account. With the credits, they can pay customers cash for posts on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), providing immediate support to drive awareness and rebuild their operations.

“At Thumzup, we are committed to leveraging our platform to make a difference in times of need, and we will be dedicating additional resources to further aid recovery efforts,” noted Mr. Steele (https://ibn.fm/0FeLB).

Thumzup also announced a new addition to its Board of Directors, Dr. Joanna Massey. Dr. Massey will be integral in the company’s next growth phase, lending her over 25 years of executive experience in communications and media, advising Fortune 500 companies, startups, and non-profits.

“We are pleased to have Dr. Massey join our Board of Directors. Her expertise across both private and public sectors and her significant personal investment in Thumzup will provide significant value to our shareholders and support our continued growth,” noted Mr. Steele (https://ibn.fm/PidEs).

Dr. Massey currently serves as a public and private company Board Director in various positions, including Chairman of the Board, Lead Independent Director, Chairman of Nominating & Corporate Governance, Chair of Compensation, and a member of several Audit, Pricing and M&A Committees. She is also a management consultant and has served as Managing Director at Golden Seeds, an early-stage investment firm with over $175 million invested in nearly 250 female-led businesses.
