Message carries unprecedented meaning at a time when a tweet sways political discourse; a gripping post launches a movement; and a dance move becomes a cultural phenomena. In AMPLIFY, featured products have something to say. Whether whispered in small script or writ large, the words, phrases, and even symbols that appear on products are as diverse as the categories represented.
