About this event
Building brands with cultural relevance in 2024, hosted by Creativebrief in collaboration with Exposure, featuring William Grant & Sons and more.
What does it mean to build a culturally relevant brand today? Who is successfully achieving this and how are they going about a notoriously challenging task?In an industry where the term ‘culture’ is often over-used, appropriated and misrepresented, it is easy to glaze over at the mere mention of culture-first brand building in 2024.
But evidence points to commercially stronger outcomes for those brands that build cultural relevance, against myriad brand and business success measures.
Dentsu’s recent CMO survey also found that 86% of marketing leaders agree that brands should aspire to create culture and build their own audiences.
But what does it all really mean?
Is this simply what skilled brand-builders have always aimed to do, or is there a different approach now to achieving cultural resonance in 2024?
Join us for an expert-led panel discussion, and find out how others are navigating this challenging landscape to successfully build the cultural beacon brands of tomorrow.
Panel hosted by Charlie Carpenter, CEO at Creativebrief
Panel includes Raoul Shah, CEO at Exposure and Sophie More, Global Director of Digital Marketing, Media and Communications at William Grant & Sons and more to be announced soon.
