We need a bigger team. It&#8217;s too risky.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;re here to show you that you don&#8217;t need a huge budget and a massive team to use this strategy. Cultural marketing is a powerful way to connect with your customers and to attract a new audience.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s give it a go. <\/p>\n<h2>What is cultural marketing?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_MagnifyingGlass_01@2x.png\" width=\"1422\" height=\"622\" alt=\"Cultural marketing strategy magnified \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When people think about cultural marketing they think about how to promote their product to people from different cultures or demographics. Whilst this is part of cultural marketing, it\u2019s too simplistic a definition. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, we define cultural marketing as <strong>a brand\u2019s response and contribution to culture<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>When we combine our demographic knowledge of our customers with cultural insight we build a truly meaningful marketing strategy. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019s time to think like anthropologists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some marketing agencies have dedicated cultural analysts in their strategy teams. Not many businesses have the luxury of a marketing strategy team, let alone an in-house cultural analyst. <\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean this approach is closed off to you. Not at all. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re going to walk you through some great examples of cultural marketing done right. And one done very wrong. Hopefully, you&#8217;ll leave inspired to add cultural marketing to your strategic toolkit. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Cultural marketing provides \u201ca better understanding of how the marketplace for products and services is shifting, when consumer context and assumptions change, and where their opportunities for growth are.\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/onmarketing\/2014\/04\/07\/culture-as-competitive-advantage-for-marketers\/#465ebd387a13\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes<\/a>) <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Why is cultural marketing important? <\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_EarthLocationSymbol_01@2x.png\" width=\"1422\" height=\"622\" alt=\"cultural marketing strategy around the world \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>People are influenced by where they come from <\/h3>\n<p>We are products of our experiences. The decisions we make are rooted in the cultural context of our own lives. Many of these experiences are shared with others in our demographic. We can call these cultural commonalities. <\/p>\n<p>Knowing where someone comes from and what\u2019s important to them is crucial in the process of learning how to talk to them. At the end of the day that&#8217;s what good marketing is: the start of a conversation. <\/p>\n<p>In this post about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gosquared.com\/blog\/more-web-traffic\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">getting the right kind of web traffic we spoke a lot about customer profiles and demographics<\/a>. Building your customer profiles is a great place to start if you aren\u2019t sure who your customers are. <\/p>\n<h3>People have different journeys <\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_EarthQuestionMarks_01@2x.png\" width=\"1422\" height=\"622\" alt=\"cultural marketing journey \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Your product might be a good fit for multiple demographics. But the reasons they want it are likely very different. Take a \u2018dumb phone\u2019 for example. A 35-year-old tech professional might be driven to purchase because they are testing out a digital detox and looking for ways to be less distracted. A grandmother might have different \u2018why&#8217;s\u2019: she doesn\u2019t want or need all the functions of a smartphone, she won\u2019t use them.  <\/p>\n<p>Despite wanting the same product, these two people have little else in common. The ways we would approach them are entirely different Different language. Different imagery. Different messaging. Different distribution. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Same result. Different journey. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Knowing these nuances is important in how you message your product to different people. In this scenario, our grandmother isn\u2019t going to be lured in by digital detox and fewer distractions. These aren&#8217;t pain points that resonate with her at all. <\/p>\n<h3>Your brand can be left behind <\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_EarthExclamationMarks_01@2x.png\" width=\"1422\" height=\"622\" alt=\"cultural marketing importance\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Research from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accenture.com\/gb-en\/company-news-release-strategy-gcpr-2018-uk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Accenture<\/a> found that 53% of us prefer to buy from a company that reflects their own personal values and beliefs. This is higher amongst the younger population suggesting that this is only going to become more important. <\/p>\n<p>Brand purpose is just one example of how companies can be left behind. Staying aware of cultural shifts and changing trends is key to staying relevant. Right now, if you\u2019re a plastic manufacturer who has paid no attention to the growing movement towards plastic-free products &#8211;  you\u2019re missing something. <\/p>\n<p>Paying attention to shifting cultures enables you to make better decisions and better serve your customers. <\/p>\n<h2>How can we build culture into our marketing strategy? <\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_EarthRippleEffect_01@2x.png\" width=\"1422\" height=\"623\" alt=\"cultural marketing ripple effect \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Stay on top of cultural shifts <\/h3>\n<p>DHH and Jason Fried of Basecamp released the book <a href=\"https:\/\/basecamp.com\/books\/calm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">It Doesn\u2019t Have to Be Crazy at Work<\/a> which not only articulated their personal and company values, but linked them to a cultural movement away from \u2018the entrepreneurial struggle\u2019. The trend towards wellness, work-life balance, and personal freedom was a great fit for Basecamp\u2019s own culture. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_basecamp.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"Basecamp's It Doesn't Have to be Crazy at Work \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Be aware that your company culture and how you choose to share that is part of your cultural marketing. Keep an eye out for similarities between your own company culture and the wider landscape to uncover similar opportunities.<\/p>\n<h3>Contribute an expert voice <\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s often the opportunity to weigh in on a topical discussion where your company has experience with the topic. <\/p>\n<p>For example, we have previously contributed data to publications such as Wired and NBC on adoption of new iOS software across the world. This was a great fit for us. The topic was relevant amongst our audience and we have the data to back up our opinions. <\/p>\n<p>Examples like this show that it doesn\u2019t have to be a huge societal shift that you are tapping into. It can be small, cultural moments that keep your brand in the minds of an audience who share common ground with your company. <\/p>\n<p>For example, we recently wrote about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gosquared.com\/blog\/online-tracking-and-privacy\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">privacy and web analytics<\/a> after noticing the growing concern over online tracking. <\/p>\n<h3>Believe in something <\/h3>\n<p>Patagonia have been championing environmental responsibility for years. Their Black Friday boycotts have been effective past the chance to display their brand values. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_patagonia.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" alt=\"Patagonia cultural marketing campaign \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In 2016 Patagonia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patagonia.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/record-breaking-black-friday-sales-to-benefit-the-planet\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">100% for the planet campaign saw the company reach $10million of sales<\/a> &#8211; all to be donated to grassroots environmental organisations. This far exceeded the company\u2019s expected $2 million in sales, and raised the company\u2019s profile. <\/p>\n<p>Your cause might be controversial, or it might be very well accepted in your industry. What we know is that customer&#8217;s want to know that the brands they buy from share their values. <\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need a multi-million dollar marketing budget to talk about what your company values. The important part is that your company has a clear purpose. <\/p>\n<p>This could be publishing a pledge to hire 50% women on your engineering team. It could be a blog post about how your company supports further learning, or employees taking time off, healthy eating and lifestyles, or environmental conservation. <\/p>\n<p><H2>Other notable examples: <\/H2> <\/p>\n<h3>Nike <\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_nike.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Nike's cultural marketing campaign \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nike\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/sport\/2018\/sep\/04\/nike-controversial-colin-kaepernick-campaign-divisive\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">30-year anniversary campaign<\/a> highlighted NFL Quarterback Colin Kaepernick who famously took a knee during the national anthem to protest racism, social inequality, and police brutality. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not that there was no backlash for this. Some people shared videos on social media of them burning Nike products or cutting out the logo. Still, the campaign resonated with Nike&#8217;s customer base and the company and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2018\/9\/24\/17895704\/nike-colin-kaepernick-boycott-6-billion\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">paid off to the order of $6bn<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>This example is a good lesson in understanding your audience. Perhaps only a giant like Nike had the power to pull something like this off. But, it showed that the risk (and reality) of putting off a few customers by making a stand can be worth it. <\/p>\n<h3>The North Face<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_northface.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"The North Face cultural marketing campaign \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>North Face\u2019s brilliant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenorthface.com\/featured\/walls.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Walls are Meant for Climbing<\/a> campaign.

This example from Pepsi received a lot of backlash for trivialising the Black Lives Matter movement and police brutality. <\/p>\n<h2>Think it through. <\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.gosquared.com\/images\/liquidicity\/19_04_30_CulturalMarketing\/2x\/19_04_30_EarthThinking2_01@2x.png\" width=\"1422\" height=\"623\" alt=\"think through your cultural strategy \" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Good cultural analysis and a diverse team are the best ways to avoid making a Pepsi-style marketing blunder. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Don\u2019t align your company with a cause you aren\u2019t committed to <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Take some time to think about the culture that your company and product sits within. Go back to your customer profiles and make sure you\u2019re signed up to industry and cultural newsletters to keep a finger on the pulse. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re struggling to think of where to start take a step back and get really clear on your company values. It&#8217;s important that any purpose you align with is true to your values.
