United Talent Agency

Harnessing Culture for Growth: Insights from UTA’s Culture Index

Monday 22 June, 14:00–14:30

Duration: 30 mins
Location: Creators Stage, The Palais

Description:

As the collision points between marketing, entertainment and commerce continue to expand, culture has emerged as the modern brand’s most powerful lever for lasting relevance and repeatable growth. It’s also the least understood.

Today’s smartest brands are those that understand culture and recognise its competitive advantage, embracing it as a business capability beyond a marketing plaything or moment of creative brilliance. For the first time in this exclusive presentation, UTA will unpack the findings of its brand-new Culture Index – a measurement system and annual report outlining the smartest brands in culture and unpacking what it takes to lead. Learn how brand leaders can use cultural fluency to shape consumer attitudes, build community and drive markets.

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?
