Ben Becker is a creative director, writer, and co-founder of BETTER STUDIOS, a self-funded project studio exploring how entertainment, products and culture can make climate risk harder to ignore. He runs it alongside his other creative studio Ad-Like Objects, which is a normal advertising business. BETTER is not. It exists because the scale of the problem felt out of sync with the scale of the creative response, so he stopped waiting for permission and started making things anyway. Ben has created work for Nike, Google, Amazon, Samsung, HBO, NFL and Coinbase. His work has been recognised by Cannes Lions, The One Show and the Clios and featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, CNN, Rolling Stone and every other major media outlet. BETTER STUDIOS is where he explores what happens when you stop waiting for permission to work on the problem. Ideally, it won’t be needed forever.
