Exploring

• Brands Role in Culture, Now + Future
• Understanding the Next 12 - 18 Months
• Creativity in the Face of Adversity
• New Outputs, Mediums + Ways of Working
• How to Build a Reciprocal Relationship
• The Cultural + Commercial Opportunity for Brands

In a time of social and economic upheaval, we explore the role brands could, and should play in helping a generation of creative + cultural talent not just survive, but thrive.

How brands behave today will influence not only the cultural but commercial landscape of tomorrow...

Amplify's social mission is to connect with, enable + champion young creative talent. This webinar explores how brands can credibly support, learn from and understand creatives as they face today's challenges, developing long-term loyalty for brands and their target audiences.

Covid-19 poses a serious threat to creativity and culture around the world. Not only is social distancing displacing scenes and stripping creatives of opportunities to connect with their audiences, it’s forcibly reshaping how they create. What’s more, the financial fallout threatens to decimate entire cultural ecosystems as revenue streams come to a sudden stop. We are in danger of losing a generation of creative talent and institutions...

But, as history has often shown, creativity and culture are resilient and resourceful. Economic, political or social upheavals have a habit of birthing new cultural movements. That’s where brands can both support and benefit. Now is the time to prove commitment to culture with support for those that need it most, during lockdown and beyond
