NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 11, 2023 / Digital Influencer Marketing Firm Be Social Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLPN), is hosting a two day Summer Showroom in Beverly Hills this week, running from July 11th - July 12th. Brands including Blue Mercury, Collective Voice, Crocs, Lulus, Perfect Snacks, and Tanologist, are participating in the two day event with the hopes of introducing their brand to key creators in the fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and wellness space.

BRANDEdit, a department within Be Social Group, merges the agency's brand connections with their influencer relationships to offer a turnkey, cost-effective approach to connect brands with influencers. Current BRANDEdit services include seasonal mailers and quarterly showroom events. The seasonal mailers are shipped to a curated group of top-tier influencers with a carefully selected assortment of products in various categories. The quarterly showroom events also introduce influencers to key brand products via in person, interactive experiences.

"Brands have really resonated with these services that have proven to deliver results, with many brands participating in multiple activations a year," said Be Social Group founder and CEO Ali Grant, "and we're excited to continue these activations and expand, hosting showrooms in other key cities in addition to Los Angeles."

Participating in the showrooms is simple: Brands pay a fee to be included in the showroom and work with Be Social on curating products tailored towards the influencers attending. Brands simply send products to be showcased and gifted at the showroom and Be Social handles everything else, from event production to influencer outreach to onsite staffing. Be Social Group leverages their own in-house roster of talent in addition to the team's longstanding influencer connections to curate the guest list. Event attendees hand select products at the event that resonate with their interests and online content, and Be Social carefully monitors all posted content from the attendees post-event, capturing all resulting social coverage that includes the gifted product for a full month afterwards.

BRANDEdit currently hosts four showrooms in Los Angeles a year and plans to expand into other markets over the next year. "Brands are very focused on influencer marketing at the moment and we're thrilled with the interest and momentum our BRANDEdit services have received. We're excited to see this division continue to expand," Grant shared.
