Who Are We?
Hype & Genius is an award-winning social enterprise, dedicated to empowering creatives and dismantling exploitation in the industry.
Our Mission
Our mission is to remove inequality in the creative industry so that creatives can have careers free from exploitation.
We work in a 2-fold way:
1. With organisations to lobby for change, consult on policy, uphold our benchmark standard and curate new experiences so that we can ensure better practices and a less exploitative creative industry.
2. Directly with the creatives themselves through training, incubators, access to spaces and equipment, events and exclusive opportunities.
We believe that in order to make change in the industry, it's important to be involved at all levels.
Why?
The creative industry is exploitative.
Creative careers are more underpaid than any other industries, especially for up and coming new talent. For example, creatives are more likely to do unpaid work - and often a lot of creatives are not credited for their work. These issues disproportionately impact Black, female, disabled and young creatives.
We want to level the playing field.
