BE A CULTURAL ACTIVIST
How to build iconic brands in the XXIst century culture?
13 September 2018 at 1:00 pm (Paris time)
By Corinne Dauger (H.84)
The XXIst Century is characterized by the relative weakening of traditional cultural markers such as gender, social status or religion, and the exponential development of multiple subcultures which create connected communities of passion and experience. Our sense of self is therefore more fragmented and more volatile. How can iconic brands take a leading role in the market of « self identity » ?
We will learn from a variety of iconic brands, such as Nike, Harley Davidson, Hermès or Tesla to draw lessons applicable to any brand that wishes to help people express who they are today.
Corinne Dauger graduated from HEC in 1984 and completed her academic track with an artistic education in the Brussels Royal Academy of Fine Arts and the Prado Madrid Academic Art School.
