We build worlds through narrative design + storytelling...

Our approach to crafting audience-first campaigns means that we find the spaces where audiences and brands benefit each other and co-create, to empower ideas, community and conversation. Placing narrative design and storytelling at the heart of everything we create and building content engines that captivate our audience with stories designed to be shared.

We create campaigns that traverse channels and all the spaces in between; designed to be experienced physically and virtually and to be enjoyed and shared through the content created.

Find out more about our approach to crafting worldbuilding campaigns here.

Our journey with Netflix began in 2017 with an 8-week turnaround project turning up at Cannes Film Festival, creating a multi-purpose ‘home from home’ on the Croissette culminating in THE party up in the hills. The UK office has gone on to run previews (See What’s Next - Rome), premieres and launches (After Life, The Witcher) and immersive experiences, junkets and screenings (The Haunting of Hill House, Stranger Things).

Our proudest work was on the final season of ‘Casa Del Papel’, blurring the lines of the IP with a 3-month campaign culminating in a reality show with members of the cast. This was followed by ‘El Legado’, a 5,000 strong end of season ‘premiere meets talk show’ finale broadcast in 10 languages to over 2 million people.

After working with Netflix for over a year on titles including Emily in Paris, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F and Heartbreak High our Sydney office was recently named Netflix Australia’s retained creative agency.

We are a global creative agency specialising in experience, entertainment + culture.

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 take a global / local approach, 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. In this we are well versed with working with A-list talent (Lady Gaga, Charli XCX), C-suite (Google’s Sundar Pichai and Pinterest’s Ben Silbermann), creators and influencers.

We have a Co.Labs team dedicated to creator, 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.

Amplify look after a number of high profile brands B2B duties, typically when they are looking to approach B2B with a more consumer mindset. As an example this year at Cannes Lions Amplify London will be managing Pinterest’s and Google’s presence, whilst Amplify’s US office will be supporting Yahoo and Tubi.

In 2021 the highly respected Wonder, joined the Amplify family, furthering boosting Amplify’s B2B offer. Together with Wonder Amplify is focussed on ‘reimagining business experiences’.

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.
