Celebrating Black-owned Brands

Happy Black History Month! At BroughtBy, we believe it’s important to work with and highlight minority-owned brands, all year long. We respect the work of the Fifteen Percent Pledge, which states that since Black people make up 15% of the population, businesses should dedicate 15% of shelf space to Black-owned brands.

We recently took stock of all of the F&B brands that we’ve worked with over the years and found that 9% of the brands are Black-owned. While we’re not quite at the 15% mark, we hope to get there soon! Shout out to all the Black-owned brands we’ve worked with to-date: Avec Drinks (better-for-you mixer), Avocado Crack (world’s first seasoning made for avocados), Playpen Vodka (vodka inspired by Chicago’s brief, yet beautiful summers), Ten to One Rum (rum reimagined), and Tubby’s Taste (Jamican-inspired vegan cookies).
