WHO WE ARE

The Culture ConNEXTion™ is a community of cool that knows and understands the culture, and how to organically connect it with brands and businesses, to create real relationships, and drive cultural relevance. 

We say conNEXTion because it’s not just about what we create today. It’s the bridge we build to what’s NEXT, by creating opportunities for brands to co-create with the culture. 

We breathe the culture into brands and businesses to reach diverse, multicultural audiences and engage the total market. We are the culture. We create the culture. We influence what’s NEXT.

What We Do

The culture influences everything. Music. Style. Sports. Art. Comedy. Entertainment. Cool. Expression. Creativity. Trends. Markets. Society. Life. Brands and businesses can’t talk about culture without us. Can’t connect with the culture without consulting with the culture. We understand culture, because we come from the culture, and influence culture. We bridge the culture gap. We are the culture. We connect the dots for brands to what’s NEXT.
