WINNERS HISTORY
Music and brands
At BIME, we know everything about music and more. In this case, we have teamed up with the marketing sector to spark conversations about the longstanding relationship between brands and music.
This proposal aims to offer BIME attendees a full day dedicated to exploring the relationship between music and brands. The section "Music and Brands: Strategic Harmony" will provide valuable insights on how brands can effectively use music in their marketing strategy, whether through their own projects or sponsorships.
The conferences and panels will showcase case studies of successful collaborations between brands and artists, and discuss current trends in the use of music in marketing. Additionally, interactive workshops will allow participants to learn how to build a solid music strategy for their brand, as well as discover new opportunities for music sponsorships.
With this proposal, BIME will expand its reach and offer an enriching space for music industry professionals, record labels, music streaming companies, intellectual property rights organizations, promoters, live music companies, and ticketing platforms to connect with brands and explore new forms of collaboration in the field of music and marketing.
RELIVE THE FIRST EDITION OF "MUSIC AND BRANDS: STRATEGIC HARMONY"
This new segment gave attendees a full day immersed in the intersection between music and brands.
From inspiring conferences to in-depth panels, we explored how brands can weave music into the fabric of their marketing strategies. The sessions provided practical examples of successful collaborations, unraveled the latest trends in the use of music in marketing, and offered interactive workshops to build solid music strategies.
The response was overwhelming, with music industry professionals, record labels, streaming platforms, and live event companies connecting with brands in a fruitful dialogue about the powerful role of music in branding.
Music Equality Forum
Music Equality Forum (MEF) arose from the need to combat gender inequalities in the music industry. MEF is possible thanks to the union created between BIME and various organizations fighting for a fairer industry that guarantees equal participation with free and equal access to resources, recognition, and decision-making.
2017
We started working with Asociación MIM (Women of the Music Industry) to develop a gender equality-focused program
2018
We committed to Keychange, a global network and movement working for a complete restructuring of the music industry to achieve full gender equality
2019
We gave greater recognition and visibility to women and LGBTQ people in our BIME Pro program
2020
We increased collaborations with organizations focused on women and LGBTQ people
2021
We created the Music Equality Forum (MEF) space
2022
We continued forging key alliances and raising awareness of the gender inequality that exists in the music industry
2023
We published the results of the "HACKING THE GENDER GAP" working group held in Barcelona, Bilbao, Buenos Aires, and Bogotá in collaboration with FEMNOISE.
2024 Objective: To promote gender and racial equality in the music industry, ensuring fair opportunities, eliminating stereotypes, and creating a safe and diverse environment that celebrates talent regardless of gender or race. We are working to eliminate systemic barriers.
WHY IS MEF NECESSARY?
86% of women in the Music Industry claim to have encountered a barrier when being hired (Asociación MIM, 2022). This year, for the first time in history, a trans woman was nominated for the Premio Lo Nuestro in the Female Artist category (LATV, 2023). In the last 10 years, only 13.6% of the GRAMMY nominations have been for women (Inclusion In The Recording Studio?, 2022). "In Latin America, only 15% of record labels are owned by women" (Linda Criollo, 2021). "Although the origin of music is unquestionably African, in mainstream music, the majority of artists are not Afro-descendants" (Edna Liliana Valencia, 2023).
Directory of Women and/or LGBTQ Organizations
With nearly a hundred organizations and initiatives in our directory, we seek to boost the growth of women and the LGBTQ community in music. We prioritize strategic alliances, using the directory as a key connection tool. Our goals include fostering collaborations, offering development opportunities, and creating a positive change in the industry by promoting inclusion and diversity. You can download the Directory of Women and/or LGBTQ Organizations using the button below.
Want to be part of it? Join our directory and contribute to creating a space where every voice collaborates and works to promote the diversity of contemporary music.
#KEYCHANGE
With the support of the European Union's Creative Europe Program, BIME has been part of the Keychange project since 2018, a global network and movement working for a complete restructuring of the music industry to achieve full gender equality.
2nd Edition of the Ibero-American BIME Equity Awards
In 2022, we decided it was necessary to reward all initiatives that work towards gender equality in the music industry.
Thus, we created the Ibero-American BIME Equity Awards in collaboration with Amazon Music.
In 2023, we will celebrate the second edition of the awards, and the winning initiatives donated their prizes to the project they chose.
Music Supervision
The Art of Music Supervision
In collaboration with The Guild of Music Supervisors, BIME brings us closer to the music supervision community. As part of its program, BIME Pro includes a series of talks focused on this sector, which delves into music synchronization across various media and digital platforms such as film, television, and advertising.
What is a Music Supervisor?
A music supervisor is a qualified professional who oversees all aspects related to music in film, television, advertising, video games, and any other existing or emerging visual media platforms, as needed.
PROGRAM

PROGRAM
BONUS TRACKS
Tribute concert for Fermín Muguruza's 40-year career – October 31 / Kafe Antzokia

EDITORIAL PRESENTATIONS
Presentation of the book "This Must Be the Place" by Shain Shapiro – October 28 / Ensanche Building
The City Where I Want to Be introduces and analyzes the relationship between music and cities. It's not about the influence that urban environments have on music, but the powerful impact that music can have on how the spaces we live in are developed, built, managed, and governed.
Narrated in an accessible way through personal stories of cities like London, Melbourne, Nashville, Austin, or Zurich, the book adopts a truly global perspective on the ways in which music is an integral part of everyday life but is neglected by public policy.
Presentation of the book "Kokotxas" by Bruno Galindo – October 29 / Azkuna Zentroa
Kokotxas is the first anthology volume of the most outstanding delights of Spanish music journalism. Selected and compiled by journalist, producer, and music critic Bruno Galindo, this exquisite selection includes 51 legendary articles written over the last 60 years by journalism legends.
Presentation of the book "Rosalia from A to Z" by Marta Salicrú accompanied by Aïda Camprubi, journalist and music programmer – October 29 / Joker Bookstore
If an alphabet serves to designate the ordered series of letters with which the phonemes or distinctive sounds of a language are represented, this book aims to offer a list of elements with which Rosalía shapes her language. Marta Salicrú, music journalist, will take you through the most iconic concepts used by the artist ―words like bizcochito, despechá, motomami, or tra tra― on a wild and exciting journey through the Rosalía phenomenon. From her unique style and musical fusions that characterize her to her impact on fashion and social networks, each page is an immersion into the universe of an artist who knows no limits and defies the status quo.
"Puto Boomer" by Roberto Moso accompanied by Pablo Salgado, director of Liburuak – October 31 / Power Records
Puto Boomer is an exciting journey through the life of Roberto Moso, one of the legendary voices of the Basque cultural scene as the lead singer of the group Zarama and as a veteran EITB journalist. Overflowing with humor, sensitivity, and good vibes, the book tells us the thousand and one stories, memories, and sensations experienced by its protagonist. Through the people, events, and music that have marked his life, he explores intimate memories —some already told, others not— where he shows us, in first person, common areas in which you can inevitably recognize yourself; even if you're not a "puto boomer."
