Our mission

Entertainment shapes how we see the world.

A gripping drama, your favourite sitcom, an immersive indie game: the stories we watch and play stay with us. If stories shape how we see the world, they should be informed by people who understand it best. That’s where we come in.

1

Bring experts in early

We connect experts and people with lived experience with creative teams while stories are still taking shape.
2

Open up the creative process

More voices in the room means more ideas, and fewer blind spots in what gets made.
3

Create lasting change

We build communities and share practical tools, so creative teams and experts can keep working together in the long term.
4

Understand the impact

Our research shows how entertainment is evolving, and what that means for storytellers and audiences.
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.
