Lucia Brawley is one of the co-Founders of AMP Global Technologies, a Digital Media platform that helps content producers build a direct relationship with their audience. The interactive mobile solution combines TV-quality content with the interactivity of social media so creators can build a direct relationship with their top fans. The AMP-powered series, Take Back the Mic: The World Cup of Hip Hop was the first example of how the platform made content interactive and easy to syndicate worldwide. It was the first 100% fan-curated series to get an Emmy nod, becoming a back-to-back Emmy Finalist for Outstanding Interactive Programming and proving itself in the market with deep engagement, media impressions, and ROI across Mobile, Digital, TV, VR, and Live media.
