Bicultural Identities in Latin America: The Rise of Cultural Blending
As the world becomes more connected, many Latin American consumers are naturally weaving multiple cultures into their daily lives. Immigrants, international students, and professionals blend local traditions with global influences—watching fútbol while streaming K-pop, switching between languages depending on who they’re talking to, and holding onto their heritage while embracing what’s new. This fluid cultural mix is reshaping how they see themselves, how they interact with the world, and what they look for in products and experiences.

Beyond the Numbers: Reclaiming Intuition in Brand Strategy
For decades, we've all worshipped data as the ultimate decision-making tool. Standardized testing, ranking/league tables, business school and so much more has taught that numbers provide certainty — that patterns, probabilities and models will lead us forward in the best way possible. And while analysis is critical, more and more I find myself wondering if we've let go of something equally valuable: intuition.

Reconfiguring Tomorrow: Cultural Trends Shaping 2025
As I've been observing cultural shifts over the past year, it's become increasingly clear that many of the forces shaping our future aren't new at all. What we call cultural trends often linger beneath the surface — latent, quietly shaping behavior until something accelerates their emergence. In the early 2010s, the global recession exposed fissures in trust and belonging, driving the rise of new forms of leadership and connection. Indeed, this was the cultural moment in which my model of brand citizenship emerged — a response to the void left by faltering institutions and a recognition that brands could rebuild trust by delivering both personal and societal value.
