Cultural Strategy Battle School - iStrategyLabsEric Shutt
Cultural Brand Strategy is the link between creative and strategy that can elevate brands, campaigns, and creative work to achieve a culturally iconic status. These creative executions side-step conventional marketing value propositions and categorical benefits — in favor of positioning Brands to address, disrupt, and resolve specific cultural tensions in a social context. Often ‘snuck in’ by agency creatives and missing from explicit client creative direction — learn the basics of how to identify, create and execute on creative strategy in a new way.

Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast - Greenspot by DartGroup Amsterdam - Cont...Sirous Kavehercy
I was invited by marketing agency Dart Group to speak at a Greenspot gathering in Amsterdam, where I discussed the importance of culture in international business. The audience included marketing and communication professionals from various sectors.
This presentation provides a brief and 360 degree view of culture including historical, social, communicative and organizational aspects of it.
The purpose of the slides is not to provide answers but to present facts, raise questions, start a conversation and trigger the viewer to think differently. This led to a lively and informative discussion in the audience. It is obviously impossible to replace that with written notes.
For a detailed recap please visit the website. If you have questions let me know and I will be happy to share my thoughts with you http://www.tripylonmedia.com.
Twelve reasons why the saying that "culture eats strategy for lunch" originally attributed to Peter Drucker is valid, each illustrated with a real world example and a question for your organization. Adapted from the Values Coach "Cultural Blueprinting Toolkit" (www.CulturalBlueprint.com).
Robert Browning was an English poet who lived during the Victorian era. He was educated at home by his father's large library and was fluent in multiple languages by age 14. Browning never had a formal career and was financially dependent on his family until age 34 when he married Elizabeth Barrett. Their marriage faced disapproval from her father. Browning published his first work anonymously in 1833 and gained recognition in the 1850s after his wife encouraged him to publish collections of his works. He had a significant influence on styles of poetry, particularly dramatic monologues, and was one of the most important Victorian poets.
