Amplify is lucky to work with some of the most forward-thinking, innovative brands globally and known for being both progressive and a leader in our industry. As we continue to pioneer 'breaking formats' it got us thinking and talking about 'building worlds' and 'creating culture' that lives beyond individual campaigns.
In our worldbuilding series, we've interviewed and profiled over 70 pioneering worldbuilders and cultural visionaries to explore how they place audiences at the centre of their worlds and crafted their insights and thoughts into a limited edition book and 9-part film series.
As with much of our work, for this project, we are drawing as much influence from the culture and creative communities as we are from pioneering brands. Whether they are local or global, to be discovered or already iconic, we believe they lead the charge and can share valuable lessons for brands beginning or already established on their worldbuilding journeys.

The first edition of 'worldbuilding: the evolution of brand building' explores the journey of worldbuilding to date and why we believe an old concept has never been more important when it comes to brand building. We look at the prevailing themes, perspectives and attitudes in the context of the fandoms and connected worlds, considering the provocations that nudge forward co-creation and content.

We regularly host worldbuilding talks, screenings, panels, and roundtables to explore worldbuilding topics collaboratively with our clients. This started with a launch event at this 2023's SXSW in Austin. Guest speakers Judy Lee from Pinterest and Kris Krockett from the Lego Group joined Amplify CCO Jeavon Smith and ECD Alex Wilson in front of a packed room. We continue to run roundtables across the globe for brand-side marketers. Sessions in London, Texas, Sydney and Melbourne have been attended by brands including Warner Bros, LUSH, Google, Paramount, Bacardi and Nike. Next up are sessions in Paris, New York and LA.
