Partner With Purpose: Sponsor the Digital Pay Gap Event
A Private Dinner & Intimate Conversation on Conscious Spending & Digital Equity
June 18, 2025 | Fort Worth, TX
A Livestream Event
Presented by Ardenia & Co. LLC
The Problem We’re Solving
Black and Latino creators earn 35% less than white counterparts for the same brand deals. Yet they drive 40% of viral trends and shape 70% of consumer purchases.
Despite their influence, less than 5% of brand dollars go to underrepresented creators and small businesses.
This event exists to close that gap—with your help.
Why Sponsor?
When you align with the Digital Pay Gap event, you’re not just writing a check, you’re making a statement. You’re telling the world your brand believes in equity, representation, and sustainable growth through inclusion.
Your sponsorship directly supports:
✔️ The Digital Diversity Directory—our inclusive brand-creator matchmaking platform
✔️ Real income opportunities for underrepresented voices
✔️ A measurable DEI impact that goes beyond performative campaigns
The Buying Power You’ll Reach:
Black consumers: $1.7 trillion
Latino consumers: $3.2 trillion
Asian & Pacific Islander consumers: $1.4 trillion
LGBTQ+ consumers: $1.4 trillion
Gen Z: $360 billion and growing
70% of Gen Z consumers prefer brands that take a stand on diversity & inclusion. Be one of them.
