PROMOTION + PARTNERSHIPS: Amplifying Caribbean-Owned Brands

Caribbean-owned businesses reign 24-7/365 here at CBN. Bridging the gap between product-driven entrepreneurs and the public helps our businesses gain more visibility while allowing shoppers to support brands they are excited about. Alongside our in-person Island Village pop-up markets, we’ve created a featured directory of Caribbean businesses across a range of categories whom we tap into when bigger opportunties call! We also recorgnize that collaboration is key. We work to assemble, refer and connect small brands with each other through partnerships and also curate unique activations and projects with aligned brand partners.
