NY NOW honors Digital Market award winners

The NY NOW Digital Market Awards ceremony recognized and honored brands who have taken the challenges of this past year and turned them into an opportunity to provide help, hope, and positivity. Co-hosted by Patti Carpenter of Carpenter + Co. and Everick Brown of Everick Brown Design, the first-ever NY NOW Digital Market awards were a magnificent success, remarkable for their stories of inspiration and creativity amid adversity.

“NY NOW is about community, and now, more than ever, we’re missing the opportunity to connect, develop and foster relationships, as well as emerge with new ideas, collaborations, and inspiration. This year’s awards were an opportunity to celebrate the positive impact and contributions our brands have on communities, both locally and globally,” said Tim Hart, senior vice president retail for NY NOW. “The awards reinforced the essential role small businesses play in supporting the lives of so many throughout the world. The nominees showcased humanity, hope, and creativity that NY NOW is so proud to support through its platform of brands, makers, retailers, and specialty buyers worldwide. We were honored to host such an eclectic group during our first Digital Market Awards.”

The NY NOW Digital Market launched with more than 650 Brands + Makers and thousands of products made in over 60 countries. Plus, 16 collaborations that represent NY NOW’s full breadth — Accessories Council, American Handcrafted, British Jewelry and Giftware International, Bulletin Wholesale, Gift for Life, Greeting Card Association, Fair Trade Federation, Indonesian Pavilion, International Trade Center, Luxury Meets Cannabis Conference, MADE51, New York Makers, NAAWE, Portuguese Pavilion, Taiwanese Pavilion, and World Fair Trade Organization.

The Digital Market is live through the end of 2020 and beyond as NY NOW develops a true 365 engagement, discovery, and connection platform. Brands + Makers will have a continuous opportunity to engage and partner with buyers through a series of uniquely themed and timely product showcases all designed to satiate our community’s desire for discovery, exploration, and connection, both online and in-person.
