Authentic Insights Report: The Culture Gap, Introducing Generation Divided

Closing the cultural divides

This year’s report explores ‘The Culture Gap’ and puts these issues at the heart of the findings to further understand how brands and businesses can move out of paralysis on today’s most pertinent topics and find a path forward in closing the current cultural divides in society. Made in partnership with Columbia University’s Kai D. Wright, the report spotlights not just how companies should view culture, but how these divides can be used as a springboard to strengthen their brand reputation and remain, or even become, culturally relevant.

Areas of focus

The report introduces a new cohort, Generation Divided. Reflecting this new cultural backdrop, this year’s research was designed to move away from standard demographic splits based on age and gender, and instead looked at communities through commonalities on a range of factors, including socioeconomic indicators, gender identity, religious beliefs, and political leanings to ensure all conditions of humanity are reflected.  

“Ultimately, brand and business leaders must prepare to be uncomfortable — ready to shift the practices, processes, and policies of producing, releasing and evaluating efficacy of work”  

Acclaimed Columbia University professor, Kai D Wright.

As FleishmanHillard’s standout IP for the coming year, the report has been made to serve as a communicator’s manual for change. The report can help:

  • Investigate hidden insights to refresh narratives that align with a brand’s most authentic self
  • Provide a better understanding of the cultural divides within your communities and how to create a dialogue  
  • Produce creative springboards to help navigate through a challenging cultural climate as well as creating game-changing campaigns
  • Support workshopping with clients on best practices and new ways of thinking  
  • Create long-term cultural strategies that strengthen brand reputation

We can help put authenticity into action in any of the areas of focus.
