The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be | Marcus Collins
Manage episode 477126554 series 3549286
Just about everything we do – like what we wear, what we eat, and even where we work – is informed in some way by our cultural subscriptions. Marcus Collins studies cultural contagion, and how it manifests in society at large. He joins Google to discuss the evolution of brand and his book, “For the Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be.”
Marcus is a professor at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, and previously served as the Chief Strategy Officer at Wieden & Kennedy in New York. Before his time in advertising, he worked at the intersection of music and tech, leading iTunes and Nike’s sports music initiatives and running digital strategy for Beyonce. He’s a recipient of AdAge’s 40 Under 40 award and Crain’s 40 Under 40 award.
