NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 16, 2020 / Digital Influencer Marketing firm Be Social Group and Creative Relations Agency The Door, both subsidiaries of Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:DLPN), announced today the launch of Holiday Provisions Kit. The newest iteration of Be Social's The Kit, Holiday Provisions combines Be Social's expertise in influencer marketing and The Door's connections to the culinary and CPG industries.

Holiday Provisions is a curated collection of food, spirits, kitchen items and beverage essentials delivered directly into the hands of 70 chefs, well-known foodies and lifestyle influencers with an affinity for cooking. Brands in the inaugural edition include Crafthouse Cocktails, Jif, St. Dalfour, Coffee for Wellness, DŌ Cookie Dough Confections, Nana Joes Granola, and others.

"When we saw the tremendous success of Be Social's first Kit in September, we knew this was something we could successfully adapt to the epicurean world," said Charlie Dougiello, CEO of The Door. "Most importantly, we knew brands would be excited at the prospect of working with both The Door and Be Social as a collaborative team to successfully introduce their brands to influencers in an effort to generate new content as well as increased impressions and awareness."

"This new venture to collaborate with The Door on an ongoing basis is just one example of the expansion opportunities that have presented themselves since we joined the Dolphin Super Group in August," said Ali Grant, founder and CEO of Be Social. "With something like The Kit, there is no limit to how many different brand verticals we can explore with The Door and the rest of the Super Group agencies."

Be Social first debuted The Kit in September with a curated group of lifestyle brands including Sunday Riley, Supergoop, and Vanity Planet. This summer-themed box included a complementary collection of beauty products, swimwear, women's accessories, and hair tools, among other items, and generated 588 pieces of content for the brands involved and over 122 million impressions on social media.

Be Social is in the process of developing the 2021 calendar for The Kit, which will include a core set of quarterly seasonal boxes, as well as themed boxes aimed at targeted audiences, similar to the culinary audience for the Holiday Provisions Kit.
