Rocks & Birds Media GmbH

Rocks & Birds Media GmbH is a German media company and app developer based in Berlin. It is the company behind 2B LOCAL, a social travel and local lifestyle application that connects locals and travelers so they can share authentic, trusted insider knowledge, unique experiences and events around the world. The company describes its mission as helping people get closer to local life and unlock a city's best-kept secrets, and its vision as making travel a true experience by letting people see the world from a different, local perspective. The 2B LOCAL app is positioned against mass tourism and algorithmic content feeds. Its marketing promises "no tourist traps, only local vibes," emphasizing real local tips and authentic recommendations rather than fake reviews or algorithmic hype. The product combines social networking with travel discovery: users can follow friends, locals and other travelers; publish short travel clips and local tips; save favorite local tips, activities and events; read travel articles and local portraits; and find upcoming local events, pop-ups and meetups shared by locals and their network. Instant messaging lets users share tips, events and experiences with friends. Rocks & Birds Media presents the app as extending the digital world into the physical one by delivering better real-life experiences, with a slogan of "by locals for locals, by locals for travelers, by travelers for travelers." The company publishes editorial content on its website under a company news category, covering travel trends such as social and community-based travel, real-time travel, authentic travel experiences, overtourism and street art exploration. As of the available evidence, 2B LOCAL was still in a pre-launch phase, inviting users to sign up for a beta. The company is headquartered in Berlin, Germany, and operates as a private company. It is not known to be listed on a stock exchange. Its public-facing brand is 2B LOCAL, while Rocks & Birds Media GmbH is the legal entity behind it.
