Key Takeaways:

Practicing cultural intelligence to influence society in a positive way and gain commercial advantage
The importance of reciprocal relationships between brands and cultural communities
Deconstructing the profit versus purpose method of marketing

-------------------

“I find that line in the sand to be quite ineffective and almost troubling at how easily we are ready to go back to the status quo, which is to make profits without consideration for ethics. Cultural intelligence really tries to bridge that gap or bridge that divide to say, ‘We can do culturally intelligent work that is driving commercial advantage and still be attentive to issues of inclusion, equity, and fostering belonging among our audiences.’” – Dr. Anastasia Kārkliņa Gabriel
