After three years of advanced design classes, the company was renamed because it now specializes in print design, web design, marketing, and branding. In 2013, BIDMedia, LLC. was legalized and new services such as photography, media, and artist development were introduced.
During 2014, a multicultural, Faith-based media and design branch, The Socialites Project, was founded. For a few months of that year, The Socialites Project worked alongside a music label of Def Jam and Sony Music Distribution.
Three years after, a new Faith-based company branch, 1635 (Sixteen35) was founded within BIDMedia, that provides services for churches, ministries, gospel artists, funeral homes, and more. In Fall 2018, another branch, Kreatively GRK (Kreatively Greek) was established. It provides services to all Greek Life councils and auxiliary organizations including Freemasons and The Order of the Eastern Star.
As of today, BIDMedia holds entitlement with the following organizations: AIGA, Behance, Adobe, The Art Directors Club, 99u, and Dribbble. It has grown into more than just a brand; it has flourished into a multifaceted mega-company.
