Harnessing Culture for Growth: Insights from UTA’s Culture Index
Monday 22 June, 14:00–14:30
Overview
Speakers
Description:
As the intersection of marketing, entertainment, and commerce continues to expand, culture has emerged as the modern brand’s most powerful lever for lasting relevance and repeatable growth. Yet it is widely misunderstood and unquantifiable. Until now.
For the first time in this exclusive presentation, UTA reveals the findings of its new Culture Index, a measurement system and annual report that translates a once-intangible force into a single cultural significance score. The Culture Index demonstrates how today’s smartest brands are embracing culture as a business capability to shape consumer attitudes, build community and drive markets. Learn how brand leaders use cultural fluency to achieve reach, resonance, and relevance, and lead in culture’s ever-changing landscape.
Questions this session will answer:
- How to measure cultural influence and harness it to drive growth?
- What are the culture-driven strategy benchmarks and tactics of the top-performing brands?
- How to identify the creators, talent, and communities that will drive engagement and conversion for their unique messages and audiences?
