Frequently asked questions.
Who created Amplified?
The Amplified program has been developed by OpenDor Media, the organization behind Unpacked—the pioneering Jewish educational media brand that continues to inspire millions of young people around the world through powerful, multi-channel storytelling.
What is the cost to join/be a part of Amplified?
Amplified is entirely free for our creators.
How long is the program?
The first phase of Amplified lasts for 12 months. During that time you’ll be having weekly meetings with your strategy team and access to our full suite of studio services, training and workshops. Once you finish the initial phase, you’ll remain an integral part of our community and will continue to be invited to participate in strategy sessions, participate in workshops, and contribute to our remarkable community.
Do I own my content?
You own your content in its entirety. Amplified values creator independence and diversity of opinion; our goal is not to make Amplified members like us. Rather, we help you become a more successful version of yourself. We know how lonely and isolating content creation can be and we know that many creators abandon their projects without the proper support and guidance. We are here to ensure that that doesn’t happen for you and your voice makes a difference online.
