Thumzup Pushes Past 900 Advertisers as Growth Curve Steepens

Thumzup Media Corporation (Nasdaq: TZUP) has crossed a key threshold—over 900 advertisers now use its social media advertising platform. That figure represents a 220% compound annual growth rate, signaling serious momentum for the Los Angeles-based company. With targets set at 1,000 advertisers by mid-Q2 and 5,000 by year’s end, Thumzup appears to be scaling faster than many of its peers in the digital ad tech sector.

Expanding Footprint, Expanding Reach

The company’s platform has been steadily gaining traction in regions like Southern California, South Florida, Miami, and Salt Lake City. These aren’t random choices. Thumzup has focused on areas where small and mid-sized businesses rely heavily on community engagement and social influence.

Through integrations with Instagram Reels and X (formerly Twitter), Thumzup gives advertisers access to an audience of over 535 million active users per month. This cross-platform connectivity is key to its pitch: simplified ad placement, better user engagement, and measurable performance—all from a single dashboard.

CEO Points to Sustained Demand

“Surpassing 900 advertisers is a major achievement,” said Thumzup CEO Robert Steele. “It proves there’s significant demand for platforms that make digital advertising accessible and effective. We’re continuing to invest in new markets and technology to keep that growth going.”

Unlike traditional advertising agencies or influencer management firms, Thumzup puts the power directly in the hands of users. Individuals can download the app, connect their social profiles, and get paid cash to post about local and national brands. Payments are handled through PayPal and similar services, making the process quick and frictionless.

Technology With a Payout

At the heart of Thumzup’s model is its programmatic advertiser dashboard, which businesses use to customize campaigns, select geographic targets, and set payment terms. The simplicity of the interface allows even first-time advertisers to launch campaigns in minutes. On the user side, the consumer app handles post verification, compensation, and social engagement metrics.

The company’s approach allows businesses of all sizes to activate real users—not just mega-influencers—to amplify their messaging. It’s grassroots advertising, scaled up.

What’s Next?

The next major checkpoint for Thumzup is hitting 1,000 advertisers by the middle of Q2. With current growth trends, that target seems more like a formality than a stretch goal. Looking further ahead, the company is aiming to onboard 5,000 advertisers by the end of 2025.

The company’s app remains available for download on both the App Store and Google Play.

Looking Ahead

Thumzup Media Corporation isn’t just growing—it’s accelerating. With its focus on everyday users, simplified advertiser tools, and expanding regional presence, the company is carving out a new space in digital marketing. If current numbers are any indication, Thumzup may soon move from an upstart to a dominant player.
