HISTORICAL WINNERS
Music and brands
At BIME, we know everything about music and more. In this case, we have partnered with the marketing sector to spark conversations about the long-standing relationship between brands and music.
This proposal aims to offer BIME attendees a full day dedicated to exploring the connection 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 feature case studies of successful collaborations between brands and artists, and will 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 sponsorship.
With this proposal, BIME will expand its reach and offer an enriching space for professionals from the music industry, record labels, music streaming companies, intellectual property rights societies, promoters, live music companies, and ticketing platforms to connect with brands and explore new forms of collaboration in the music and marketing space.
Music Equality Forum
The Music Equality Forum (MEF) arises from the need to combat gender inequalities in the music industry. MEF is made possible through the union between BIME and various organizations fighting for a fairer industry that ensures equal participation with free and equal access to resources, recognition, and decision-making.
2017
We started working with the MIM Association (Women in the Music Industry) to develop a gender equality-focused program.
2018
We committed to Keychange, a global network and movement working for a total restructuring of the music industry to achieve full gender equality.
2019
We gave greater recognition and visibility to women and LGTBIQ individuals in our BIME Pro program.
2020
We increased the number of collaborations with organizations focused on women and LGTBIQ individuals.
2021
We created the Music Equality Forum (MEF) space.
2022
We continued forging key alliances and increasing visibility of gender inequality in the music industry.
2023
We published the results of the "HACKING THE GENDER GAP" working session held in Barcelona, Bilbao, Buenos Aires, and Bogotá in collaboration with FEMNOISE.
2024
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 work to eliminate systemic barriers.
2025
MEF aims in 2025 to strengthen the common forum of the music industry, provide tools for data collection and study generation, and align objectives, strategies, and tactics among associations and sector stakeholders.
WHY IS MEF NECESSARY?
86% of women in the Music Industry claim to have faced a barrier when it comes to their hiring (MIM Association, 2022). This year, for the first time in history, a trans woman has been nominated for the Lo Nuestro Award in the Female Artist category (LATV, 2023). In the last 10 years, only 13.6% of 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). "Despite the undeniable origin of music being from the African continent, in mainstream and widely consumed music across different sectors and genres, most artists are not Afro-descendants" (Edna Liliana Valencia, 2023).
Directory of Women and/or LGTBIQ Organizations
With nearly a hundred organizations and initiatives in our directory, we aim to boost the growth of women and the LGTBIQ community in music. We prioritize strategic alliances, using the directory as a key tool for connection. Our goals include fostering collaborations, offering development opportunities, and generating positive change in the industry by promoting inclusion and diversity.
