Cultural research.

Understanding cultural drivers on social media.

Social media today drives and is driven by culture. It creates conversations but is also impacted by offline social movements. Our Cultural Research team unpacks these insights to help brands join conversations, share values and shape behaviours – while positioning with authenticity and relevance. Moreover, our cultural expertise, embedded in a diverse and global team, helps brands stand out among the social media crowd through content that drives impact in multiple spaces.

Approach.

Our approach.

Our diverse team, coming from different countries and cultural backgrounds, brings a global perspective to cultural research. We combine careful social observation, trend tracking, and social movement analysis to understand how digital culture evolves. By studying audiences’ behaviours, interests, and conversations, we help brands align with cultural moments in a way that is genuine, inclusive, and impactful. Our research is designed to ensure that brands don’t just react to trends – they engage with them in meaningful, strategic ways.
