We join the dots between people, brands + culture. We put the audience at the heart of what we do, starting with real people, not demographics. We create integrated solutions, helping brands build authentic and long-term connections with their audience (and the things they love)... Having a connection with someone is deep-rooted. It’s emotional. A feeling. A relationship…When you have a connection, everything just clicks. We turn consumers into brand fans.
With the Covid pandemic continuing to cast a shadow, Campaign spoke to the UK’s top experience agencies to find out what brand events will look like this year...

In 2018 we return with a further deep dive into the hopes, fears and realities of 2,023 18-30 year olds, spanning genders, regions, ethnicities and socio-economic status groups. We know it’s vital for brands to look outside the M25, not just focus on London’s perceived influencers. For Young Blood 2 we asked tough questions. In return we got some frank and equally hard-to-hear answers...
Amplify Brand Editor, Jade French, digs into the ‘OK Boomer’ meme. Originally featured in LLB Online, published November 28th 2019.

Jonathan Emmins takes us through how Fyre Festival should have gone down, with comments originally featured as part of Access All Areas cover feature on 4th March 2019...
In days of old artists used would hope and pray for the day they received patronage from rich nobility. Their investment, or lack of it, could make or break their creative careers and often saved them from a life of poverty and financial woe. Fast-forward and a new league of artists, musicians and photographers are still struggling to get paid - or, at least, get paid more.
