“People are feeling overwhelmed, worried, and fearful that our efforts to create a better world haven’t worked,” Met shared. “AMPLIFY offers a fresh perspective — a slate of proven strategies inspired by cultural icons like Taylor Swift and BTS — about building new kinds of movements and empowering individuals to find their space to make a real, tangible difference.”

From stadium acts to indie singer-songwriters, musicians have pioneered ways of sparking passion, building awareness, and catalyzing engagement. Now imagine if the causes you cared about—from the fight to protect the planet to campaigns promoting global health, gun reform, or LGBTQIA+ rights—had the same fervent support as your favorite artists. AMPLIFY’s innovative toolkit will help you find your voice and maximize your impact in the world of social progress to create the change you want to see. 

Met has firsthand experience growing an impassioned audience for an indie-pop band that formed in a family living room and is now selling out arenas across the country. With award-winning journalist Heather Landy, he shows how fan-building tactics from the music industry can build up movements in exciting, innovative ways. AMPLIFY demonstrates ways to smartly attract passionate supporters (i.e. fans) using the tactics of engagement, collaboration, and authentic connection, to inspire people to carry your message to the world and spur others to action.

The book also shares strategies from today’s most effective organizers, engagers, and audience builders, and includes interviews with Andrew Yang (former US presidential candidate), David Hogg (March for Our Lives co-founder), Christiana Figueres (Paris Agreement architect), Sue Doster (NYC Pride executive director), Glenn Beck (conservative commentator), Jim Gaffigan(comedian), and Bill Nye (scientist and entertainer), among others.

Last fall, Met was honored with the prestigious TIME Earth Award, which recognizes individuals influencing the future of the planet through their work on climate justice, awareness, and activism. Adam joins an exclusive group of Earth Award recipients, including Jane Fonda and John Kerry. You can read his profile HERE and watch his acceptance speech HERE.
