The Culture Circle
What it is
A growth framework that shows how brands move people from awareness to advocacy through social, culture and community.
Why it matters
People do not move in a straight line anymore. They discover a brand through a TikTok, see it again through a creator, save it on Instagram, talk about it with friends, join the community, then eventually buy. The Culture Circle helps brands create a connected ecosystem where every touchpoint feeds the next.
How it works
Awareness: Get the brand seen in the right cultural spaces.
Consideration: Give people a reason to care, understand and trust
Community: Build familiarity through conversation, participation and shared values.
Conversion: Turn interest into action through clear, timely social moments.
Advocacy: Give people something worth sharing, repeating or recommending.
CPI: Cultural Performance Indicators

Cultural relevance: Is the brand showing up in conversations people already care about?
Community pull: Are people commenting, sharing, saving and participating?
Sentiment: Are people responding with warmth, humour, trust or emotional connection?
Repeat engagement: Are people coming back for more?
