vKind announced today that they have invested in and partnered with Plant Based Network (PBNet) – the world’s largest lifestyle and entertainment TV network for plant-based living. By partnering with PBNet, vKind is creating more opportunity for PBNet’s vegan audience to connect with vegan resources and thus, fueling the VegEconomy®.
Founders of vKind coined the term VegEconomy® – the growing movement to support vegan businesses that are committed to an ethical business model. By partnering with PBNet, vKind has the ability to reach and provide more vegan-vetted resources to vegans across the world.
“We are excited to partner with Plant Based Network, and the timing couldn’t be better,” said Star Simmons, founder of vKind. “Vegans and veg-curious are igniting a new era of compassionate innovation and hungry for like-minded content and information about convenient and accessible plant-based goods. This collaboration is a great opportunity to boost our capacity to deliver it.”
“We believe the Plant Based Network is very aligned with vKind in terms of our mission to help grow the movement and bring the plant-based lifestyle into the rapidly increasing mainstream audience of conscious consumers interested in better health and a sustainable planet. When you take vKind’s vegan business ecosystem and press release service (vWire), and combine them with PBNet’s content development capabilities, multiple marketing channels, and comprehensive digital marketing services, it creates a truly powerful and unique partnership focused on helping plant-based/vegan entrepreneurs make it easier for people to transition to and live a plant-based lifestyle.” – Ronnie ‘Tsunami’ Gandiza, Co-Founder and CEO of the Plant Based Network
