‘It was wild:’ Small Winnipeg business receives invite to Emmy Awards
Global News
Amber Nemeth, a small business owner from Winnipeg, will be sharing her products with top celebrities at the Emmy Awards on Sept. 15. And yes, she's feeling a little starstruck.
It was your typical March day in Winnipeg and Amber Nemeth was minding her own business — literally, her business is called HayMad & Co. — when she found something in her spam folder.
It was an invite to the Emmy Awards.
“The company that does all the gifting suites for award shows like this reached out to us via email wanting our Be Kind products and originally just in the gift bags for the nominees and presenters,” she said.
But Nemeth didn’t buy it at first.
“I originally thought it was a scam. Especially in this day and age. So I did go down a rabbit hole for quite a while just to prove this actually is legit,” she said.
When she learned the invite was real, Nemeth said her team jumped on the opportunity, eventually being offered a spot in the gifting suite.
A rush of planning ensued.
“It was wild, you know. What of our Be Kind product did they want? It was our black Be Kind hoodie, and then they also wanted our corduroy tote bag in there as well,” she said.
