Brand partnerships
Selective campaigns and product ideas that can live inside the actual world of bodegas without flattening it.
Work with us
Work With Us
For brands, publishers, venues, retailers, and media requests that understand the stores come first.
The fit has to be specific.
BCNY is an archive first. The right collaboration can add money, reach, or access while keeping the cats, stores, owners, and fieldwork in their real context.
The idea has to fit the real BCNY world: bodegas, working cats, New York neighborhoods, photography, or the book.
Store owners, cat names, quotes, and archive context stay real.
Commercial work needs a real budget and a clear use case.
Licensing and sponsorship do not buy editorial control.
