Nature rebranded: How Agency for Nature is changing the game

03 February 2025

What if nature was as hyped as the latest sneaker drop or music release? That’s the idea behind Agency for Nature, a creative movement using culture to bring young people back to the wild.

Building on the success of Season 1, which reached 10 million young people, Season 2 takes an even more creative approach; bringing nature into youth culture through football, fashion, drag, gothic underworld, and even a talking tree.

As production partners, we worked collaboratively with some of the UK’s most exciting creative agencies; including House 337, IRIS, VCCP and Droga5, to bring these multimedia campaigns to life, from gothic zines to AI-powered storytelling, proving that creativity can be a powerful force for climate action.

We believe bold, authentic storytelling drives real change. That’s why we’re proud to have brought low-carbon production values to these shoots, proving that creativity can be a force for climate action.

As Lisa Merrick Lawless, co-founder of Purpose Disruptors, puts it:
"We need to help young people reconnect to nature by bringing it to them, where they are, in novel and innovative ways through culture, like they experience music and fashion."
