Cultural Intelligence
Concepts, Production, Research, Data
Flux is the new norm. Without general understanding and context of the rise of a new mindset in our culture, work simply bears no fruit. What worked before, is now old news.
But armed with our expertise, you can seize even greater success. This is where innovation begins.
Culture may matter, but Cultural Intelligence is the new oil.
Based in large part on the spirit of Lnk principal's Amazon "Best: New Media Studies" book "Rise of the SmartPower Class" and the companion update "America's Most Wanted: the Millennial" this is the next level of agency power with an ear-to-the-ground approach.
Part of the secret to our approach is helping our clients map out strategy within concentric circles. How will the work be received by the target youth culture/hip hop demographic authentically, then how will that be viewed with the larger current value trends in America today, and finally, how will it be received within larger, potential global value trends? We go beyond just "reach your youth culture consumer where he or she lives" to a deeper level of authenticity and long-arm reach that resonates.
