Culture can be overwhelming. What’s relevant today might not be tomorrow.

Even more so for FMCG brands – it’s a fast-paced market. And you’ll never truly ‘clock’ culture – that’s not the goal for brands.  

Staying ahead isn’t about chasing an algorithm. It’s about digging deeper. Understanding the root drivers and anticipating what’s next to shape your brand’s future.

Designed with FMCG brands in mind, join our cultural analysis workshop and learn how to cut through the noise.

We’ll teach you our proprietary and straightforward method for unpacking cultural shifts and their impact on your category, customers and brand. Rather than being swept up by what’s trending, we’ll show you how to understand the bigger picture and translate this into clear actions for your brand.

Led by Industry leaders, Laura Mulcahy, Head of Culture Practice TRA, and Ngaia Calder, Business Director, Sydney, this workshop will give you the confidence to make smart, strategic decisions and tools to shape your brand’s future, not just responding what’s happening in the moment.
