Embracing The Culture: How Brands Can Connect with Black Fans
Live Nation’s CURATED team recently hosted their annual For the Love of The Culture Summit, bringing together industry leaders to discuss how marketers can build deeper connections with Black audiences and celebrate The Culture through live music in a way that feels authentic to the community. Here’s what they had to say.
“To reinvent yourself, you need to bring in different types of people.”
Diversify your circle by connecting with people from all walks of life, interests, and backgrounds – even those you don’t always agree with – to bring in fresh energy and open the door to new perspectives.
“When people tell you culture doesn’t matter, tell them to check the stats”
Studies show that companies that are more diverse are more successful. Bring your culture to the forefront of everything you do, and for brands, empower those who can help shift culture.
“The world will try to make you think that your differences are your weaknesses when they’re your superpower.”
When you understand what you bring to the table and what you’re good at, you can authentically be yourself. Embrace your interests and background because your culture and your uniqueness are your multipliers.
