Believe in Better: Insight and inspiration from industry leaders

In this video series produced and hosted by Stand Agency we will introduce you to insightful thought leaders, each representing an inspiring brand, business or charity. Our special guests come from many different backgrounds and sectors, but what united them is a belief in better; the desire to create positive impact within their industry.
Here Matt Griffiths, CEO of national charity, Youth Music speaks to us about some of the barriers faced by young people entering the music industry. We discuss Youth Music’s new research report titled A Blueprint for the Future and its new Incubator Fund, a £2m grant designed to help open up access to sustainable careers in music for people aged 18-25.
Watch this space for future episodes of Believe in Better with more inspiring thought leaders from our network.
