"How can we get our brand into culture?"
(Said by every marketer, ever, since c. 2015)
What brands do must be enduring, meaningful and sustainable.
Why now?
1.
Brands are getting it very wrong. The risks are huge.
We don’t need to tell you the fallout from brands who’ve misfired-you’ve read the headlines. Having cultural resonance is not a short-term game but a long-term strategy.
2.
3.
Marketing departments need reorganising and modernising to be more relevant. Internal capabilities are not aligned with the outside world.
