Hi Kith.

As we continue to pioneer 'breaking formats' it got us thinking and talking about 'building worlds' and 'creating culture' that lives beyond individual campaigns or sponsorship platforms.

Finding the balance between exclusivity and inclusivity...

The fashion industry is going through an intense and exciting period of transition. Consequently, it is one of the most exciting and progressive spaces that we work in. The transition from storytelling to story living is a growing trend among fashion brands.

The most popular brands are always seeking ways to build connections with their audience and continuously generate brand love, but within the world of fashion, the goalposts are ever-moving. For a long time, fashion has taken on more meaning than the clothes that sit on our bodies, which are simply representations of our ideals, morals and values. As a result, desirability has been one of the most important factors in consumer decisions - how much do I really want this? Where some build demand through limited supply and others look to build their consumer base by being a visible representation of what the world looks like, there’s a constant conflict between ‘inclusive’ and ‘exclusive’ as a goal for fashion brands.

Even with the most exclusive brands, what lies at the heart of consumer interest is still a community that may relate with each and not necessarily even to owning the product. Talkability is a currency in itself, and consumers being able to see themselves in your brand is what’ll help it stand the test of time, especially if as a heritage brand you begin to invite a newer, more technologically savvy and financially stripped audience into your world.

The luxury category is also one of the most exciting and progressive spaces that we work in. The transition from storytelling to story living is a growing trend among luxury brands. As demonstrated through our collaborations with brands including Cartier, LVMH and Porsche, we know audience expectations have evolved. Our clients in the luxury space are coming to us to better understand how to connect or reconnect with their audiences - whether through culture, breaking tired formats or building worlds through more connected storytelling.

We also understand how to build impactful and meaningful campaigns through sport...

The US based team at Amplify have a wealth of sports experience, from an Allyson Feli x documentary to tennis with Pharrell for Adidas, grass roots college football to Super Bowl activations and from leveraging F1 sponsorships to Jordan at the NBA.

Throughout our work, we draw as much influence from the culture and creative communities as we do 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 journeys.

Amplify are lucky to work with some of the most innovative and progressive brands globally, often working as an extension of the team creating global campaigns, toolkits and campaigns that are activated locally, both delivering directly through our global hubs and / or supporting and managing local teams, agencies and individuals. We're as committed to 'doing good' as doing 'good work' and leading with responsibility. In 2023 Amplify was globally B-Corp accredited.

We have a wealth of talent that has worked with Nike across key territories ranging from the UK, Europe, Middle East, South East Asia and India and Australia, however each project has a specialist team that is dedicated to this. In terms of how we activate, we think globally but work hyperlocally.

Amplify take a global / local approach, with hubs in London, LA, Paris, New York and Sydney. We are often spearheading and supporting campaigns taking place across multiple markets. The Play Has No Limits launch of PlayStation 5 is a great example, with 27 events in 25 countries in 24 hours. More recently Amplify concepted, managed and delivered ‘The Clubhouse’ for EA FC (formerly FIFA) in key city Madrid, with local agencies delivering events in 7 further cities following our guidelines and guidance. The Madrid experience hero’ed cover star Jude Bellingham as one of the many players and creators in attendance, with Amplify designing and managing the livestream and social assets capture and creation.

This era of creator culture is rewriting the script of storytelling. We work with brands that want to go Off Script. Brands that want to break the format of branded entertainment and IP, by harnessing a new era of storytelling styles, tools and creators, such as with the finale of Netflix’s very own 'Casa del Papel' - which translated the IP into a reality show and a global broadcast.

Amplify has in-house expertise in creating events, shoots and livestreams ensuring both the URL and IRL experience is maximised, never compromised. We take a magazine format, often broadcasting tailored versions in multiple languages incorporating bespoke filming, shoots and local content.

We have a Co.Labs team dedicated to creators, communities and partnerships. We believe in the power of getting under the skin of real people to help brands understand their potential role in culture. Creators, influencers, talent and communities are an extension of a brand’s audience and have the power to influence everything from cultural relevance to buying decisions, and so we believe understanding the power of collaborations is key to brand success.

Following pioneering anamorphic for the launch of the PlayStation 5, increasingly Amplify had been used as a go to agency for creative technology, installations and disruptive media. Amplify also have a dedicated FUTURES division, with a team of creative technologists who are as creative as they are solutions orientated.

Good ideas don’t need to cost the earth. Often when budgets or timelines are limited is when creativity and creative problem solving can prevail - whether finding a venue that does the job, through a collaborative partnership or a killer idea that cuts through. Amplify also has a specialist youth and gen z focused agency. Seed specialise in fusing brand experience, creator and content - and are used by brands such as Adobe. Amazon, Lululemon, New Balance and Spotify to seed and launch new IPs, products and services.

  • Approach

    We were founded as a 'home for creative people and clients' on a shared mission to join 'the dots between people, brands and culture'. We know we have two clients, both the brands that give us the killer briefs and the often hard-to-reach audiences they're trying to engage. Through our campaigns, we find cultural spaces where a brand and audience can come together to create conversation, community and culture - building loyalty and long-term relationships.

    We ensure brands cut through in this busy, saturated and complicated world by creating simple, moving and effective campaigns that are empathetic, often living across multiple channels.

  • Capabilities

    We place narrative design + storytelling at the heart of everything we create.

    That's why we believe the more we blur the lines between physical experiences and online digital experiences, the more we can captivate our audience with brand stories designed to be shared. This belief has led us to continue crafting the creative services we offer, all through the lens of experience, entertainment, and culture. This allows us to create ideas, campaigns, experiences, and platforms that can be amplified at every touchpoint and across the entire media mix, traversing channels and all the spaces in between.

  • Culture Briefings

    Culture matters because it defines us. Forming the building blocks of our identities – from fashion to music, sport to wellness and everything in between – culture is what people really care about. That's why brands need to engage their audiences through culture, facilitating, complementing and contributing to the lifestyles and identities they are looking to create.

    Culture briefings help you keep up to speed with innovations and evolutions happening across the cultural spectrum, mapping opportunities, learnings and need-to-knows that can keep brands afloat amidst the cultural riptide.
