Brookings Creative Lab

In July 2015, Brookings launched the Creative Lab to illuminate Brookings research data with compelling images and storytelling. One of the debut videos gave a first-person view of Baltimore, filmed on location not long after unrest gripped that city. Other innovative products have included using LEGO to demonstrate inequality, exploring the medical marijuana mess, and a drone flight over the U.S.-Mexico border. Creative Lab videos received three W3 Awards honoring digital excellence. The Creative Lab project came to conclusion in March 2019, but its spirit lives on and the work created during its run will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. These and all Brookings videos can still be found on the Brookings YouTube channel.
