Why worldbuilding?

Curzon Event
London Launch + Premiere.
The Curzon - Bloomsbury, London.
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.
During the event we explored how to construct connected brand worlds with storylines and environments that put audiences at the heart of their narrative. If you are a marketer or brand leader who wants to turn audiences into fandoms, we'd love to chat.
