NEW YORK, Aug. 13, 2024 -- 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.
