#### Have you ever wondered how to; create meaningful brand collaborations? Measure co-creation success beyond revenue? Or nurture a healthier community?

Well, we made a workshop off the back of the learnings from [DIRTY WORDS #4 \[COMMUNITY\]](https://www.proteinagency.com/reports/dirty-words-4-community?ref=protein.xyz) to answer all these questions and more. We ran the first one in [New York last week](https://twitter.com/protein/status/1674879246253060096?s=20&ref=protein.xyz) and had some amazing feedback, so if you’d like to join the next one, please [sign-up here](https://form.typeform.com/to/abezD95P?ref=protein.xyz). We’re also going to be sharing some insights at [Broadcast Summit](https://twitter.com/broadcastitbabe/status/1676989499547549697?s=20&ref=protein.xyz) in Paris and did you know you can now download a [free PDF version](https://www.proteinagency.com/reports/dirty-words-4-community?ref=protein.xyz) of the report?

In other news, there are two new [Stories](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/protein-podcast/id1449302502?ref=protein.xyz) on the podcast for you to tuck into: [Amber Atherton on the rise of virtual communities](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/stories-43-amber-atherton-on-the-rise-of/id1449302502?i=1000619363971&ref=protein.xyz) and [Protein Studios](https://www.proteinstudios.com/ldn/spaces?ref=protein.xyz) member, [Templo](https://www.templo.co.uk/?ref=protein.xyz) on [designing for impact](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/stories-42-pali-and-anoushka-on-designing-for-impact/id1449302502?i=1000619143284&ref=protein.xyz). Speaking of our Shoreditch events and community space, we’ve just given it [refresh](https://www.proteinstudios.com/ldn/spaces?ref=protein.xyz), so shout out to another one of our amazing members, [They That Do](https://theythatdo.com/?ref=protein.xyz) for making us look 🔥

P.S. We’ve also launched the first in a series of secret Studios playlists, so feel special, as you guys get the first play:
