Exist to Enrich [Your Customer’s Culture]

As the speed of fashion trends continues to grow - many brands are left feeling like observers of their customer’s culture.

It’s tough to keep up.

When a brand becomes an observer - an outsider - of its customer’s culture, it puts them squarely in reaction mode.

And reaction mode is a tricky place for a brand to be.

Instead of executing a solid roadmap, brands end up responding to culture & trends in real time - when they should be *actively creating them.*

Reaction mode also leads brands to:

👋 Relinquish their greatest asset - a strong brand identity: in a bid to stay relevant they endorse trends that are counter to their identity and lose authenticity

🏃‍♂️ Lose control over the future fortunes: relying on the need to chase popular trends in perpetuity

The good news? There’s a better way:

And, it starts with a laser-focus on the customer. Understanding their mindset, culture, values - and most importantly - how your brand can meet their unmet needs. Make them feel seen.

🎯 When brands engage in ongoing conversations with their customers, they can authentically engage in building culture at the intersection of shared brand and customer values

🚀 When brands make continual investments to know their customers, they can build future-focused product strategies that drive unparalleled growth and loyalty

🥇 When brands build product strategy on the needs of their customers, they can weather economic uncertainty with agility and confidence.
