NEW
YORK, Aug. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of
Black Business Month, Idlewild Experiential is relaunching its
BEEM List (BIPOC Event & Experiential
Marketers), which seeks to help BIPOC-owned vendors and
suppliers connect with leaders in the experiential marketing
industry. The BEEM List elevates and supports diverse small
business owners by raising awareness of their products and services
with corporate experiential marketers.
Idlewild, a multicultural experiential agency founded into 2018,
launched the BEEM List in 2020 at the height of the George Floyd
social justice movement to create opportunities for Black
entrepreneurs. For Black Business Month, the 2024 BEEM List
features 11 Black-owned, Idlewild-approved vendors who have strong
track records of delivering exceptional service to corporate
partners.
Looking ahead, the BEEM List will expand to feature
Hispanic/Latino-owned companies as well as companies owned by
entrepreneurs of Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage.
"This initiative is about increasing visibility for
minority-owned businesses and to foster meaningful connections and
opportunities that might not otherwise be available," says
Anika Grant, CEO and founder of
Idlewild Experiential. "It is our hope that the BEEM List will be a
valuable resource for corporate leaders who are looking to expand
their supplier diversity pipeline."
Key Features of the BEEM List:
- Comprehensive List: A curated list of black-owned
vendors and suppliers across various categories.
- Support and Resources: Dedicated resources and support
to help vendors thrive in the experiential marketing industry.
- Highlighting Credible Vendors: The BEEM List will
feature 11 credible vendors that are Idlewild-approved across
different sectors, including AV, fabrication, gifting,
promotional items, event photographers, photobooths, and more.
These vendors have been carefully selected based on their
exceptional service and proven track record in delivering
high-quality experiences.
