WHERE CRAFT MEETS CREATIVITY: JAMES B. BEAM DISTILLING CO. LAUNCHES CREATOR CAMPUS
New open call gives podcasters, musicians and multidisciplinary creators the opportunity to create original work in one of America's most iconic whiskey destinations.
James B. Beam Distilling Co. (JBBDCo.), home to American whiskey brands including Jim Beam®, the world's no. 1 bourbon, Knob Creek® and Basil Hayden®, today announced the launch of Creator Campus, a new initiative that invites podcasters, musicians, filmmakers, digital creators and storytellers to apply for the opportunity to develop original work at its historic Clermont, Kentucky campus.
Rooted in more than 200 years of American whiskey-making tradition, Creator Campus transforms a portion of the JBBDCo. campus into a dedicated creative environment where heritage and contemporary culture intersect. Selected participants will receive access to the distillery's expansive grounds and distinctive spaces to bring projects to life - from recording podcasts and filming content to producing music and hosting collaborative retreats.
More than a production space, Creator Campus offers an immersive experience at the home of Jim Beam®. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the distillery through whiskey tastings, educational experiences, restaurants, special releases and signature events, including the Clermont Supper Club series, while drawing inspiration from the craftsmanship, people and traditions that have shaped the Beam family legacy for generations.
WHY JAMES B. BEAM DISTILLING CO. IS LAUNCHING CREATOR CAMPUS
For decades, the James B. Beam Distilling Co. campus has welcomed visitors from around the world to experience the history and craftsmanship behind the spirit. With Creator Campus, JBBDCo. is expanding that legacy by creating a place where today's creators can produce original work in an authentic setting unlike a traditional studio.
As creators increasingly seek distinctive, real-world locations that inspire storytelling and collaboration, Creator Campus offers access to one of America's most iconic distilleries as both a creative workspace and cultural destination. The initiative reflects JBBDCo.'s ongoing commitment to craftsmanship, hospitality and bringing people together through meaningful experiences.
"At its core, JBBDCo. has always been about craft - making something meaningful to be shared, bringing people together," said Freddie Noe, eighth-generation master distiller at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. "Creator Campus builds on that tradition by opening our doors in a new way, inviting creators to draw inspiration from this place as I have and create something entirely their own."
