A Silver Telly for Influenced: The Online Masculinity Map 🏆

The short documentary we made with has taken Silver in the Social Impact category at the 47th Annual Telly Awards.

The film follows , who at 22 found a “masculinity map” online that told him exactly how to be a man. Go to the gym. Build a business. Attract a fit girlfriend.

Thanks so much to Will for sharing his story and showing men that there is another way.

Huge thanks to the crew who made it real:

Tickets for the World Premiere of Out Laws at the 40th BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival are available for BFI Members starting today! Link in comments.

Out Laws, our debut feature documentary, is the ultimate expression of our purpose: channelling a decade of expertise in narrative change to drive tangible social impact.

Currently, over 60 countries still criminalise same-sex intimacy. Out Laws uncovers the colonial roots of these laws and follows the activists—like Friedel Dausab, Rosanna Flamer-Caldera, and Raven Gill—who are risking everything to dismantle them.

This isn't just a film; it’s a strategic tool for justice. We’ve applied the same rigorous methodologies we use for our brand partners to:

- Identify the "Movable Middle": Crafting stories that dismantle myths and bridge emotional divides.

- Narrative Hijacking: Taking terms like "Family Values" and reframing them to prove that laws, not identities, are what tear families apart.

- Insight-Led Storytelling: Moving research off the slide deck and onto the big screen to solve complex problems through human-centred narratives.

Join us at the BFI Southbank this March to see what happens when courageous storytelling meets strategic rigour.

🎟️ General Sale: Opens 26 February.

Introducing Youth Connections, a new series exploring the brands resonating with young people.

Every learning in this series comes straight from our internal Youth Collective, The Good Side’s diverse network of 16–25 year-olds across the UK.

Good Collective member shares how the NYC mayoral campaign won over young audiences by ditching the traditional “political playbook” for something that feels people-centered and approachable.

Is your brand looking to reignite its connection to young people? Get in touch.

From Arsenal’s prayer circle to Rosalia’s saints 🕊️⚽️

Why did 2025 feel so… holy? In our latest trend drop, we explore The Spiritual Anchor—the reason why Gen Z suddenly turned to faith, ritual, and commitment this year.
It was the year of:

✨ The “Internet Saint” (Carlo Acutis)
💍 The return of the “Early Marriage”
🔮 Witchcraft going mainstream
🙏 The Arsenal “Bible Brothers”

When everything else feels volatile, we crave the stability of the sacred.

Watch the clip to see what this means for 2026 (Spoiler: “Wholesome” is back).

Did you notice how 2025 felt… familiar?

We saw the “Pre-Internet” vibe take over everything. The bands. The fashion. The sudden obsession with doing sports in pairs.

It wasn’t a coincidence. It was a reaction to the “always-on” burnout of the last few years. We call it The Temporal Anchor.

This is just 1 of 5 major anchors that held culture together in 2025.

Tired of hearing the same tired Gen Z takes?

We are too. That’s why we’re flipping the script. Our diverse youth network, The Good Collective, is about to launch a myth-busting video series that unpacks the real stories behind the stereotypes — from ‘boundary-obsessed’ to ‘self-righteous’, and everything in between.

The tropes say more about us than them. And the truth is sharper, bolder and far more useful.
