M+C Saatchi Group created The Cultural Power Index as an AI-powered tool to help brands tap into cultural power to grow. This tool gathers data from social media, media, and more to assess how brands can become part of relevant conversations and not only reach but engage the right audiences.
“We believe Cultural Power is the most significant driver of brand growth today. With the Cultural Power Index, we’re not just defining what makes a brand culturally relevant, we’re providing a roadmap for them to harness and scale that power,’ said Zaid Al-Qassab, CEO of the M+C Saatchi Group.
Beyond introducing the AI-powered tool, the communications group introduced a new identity that swaps its ampersand for a plus sign and shares a refreshed font and color palette.
