We’re changing how the entertainment industry works with knowledge.

Our work connects creatives, researchers, charities, people with lived experience and industry leaders, bringing diverse perspectives together to spark new ideas and build meaningful collaboration across sectors.

Our goal is to change the systems behind the entertainment we love, so that better-informed stories become the norm.

We work with creatives and experts at the concept stage, so ideas are shaped by research and lived experience from the start.
We build practical tools and networks, so creative teams, experts and researchers can keep working together in the long term.
We support the sector with a better understanding of their power for impact through research and insights.
We explore the impact OKRE can have in new media formats, by broadening our community through events and engagement.
Organisations like OKRE are absolutely fundamental… it’s what’s going to drive a different type of storytelling, more representation. It cannot be just one group figuring that out, it’s got to be people who have lived experience, academics, the nonprofit sector and the big entertainment companies.
