At the Brands & Culture NY conference, marketing leaders discussed the complex nature of 'culture' in branding, particularly regarding its importance for engaging Gen Z. Despite many interpretations of culture, including pop culture references and social trends, experts emphasized the need for a deeper, holistic approach to cultural strategy rather than viewing it as a quick fix. Notably, panelists highlighted that culture isn't merely transactional and cannot replace a fundamentally strong product offering, suggesting a more nuanced understanding is essential for successful marketing today.
I think culture is probably so ill-defined because even I feel like it's a bit generic. Culture is all-encompassing, which is not the best answer.
Culture is definitely not a panacea for poor product performance. At the heart of it, your brand has to have a solid product offering.
