Marketing's centre of gravity is moving — from buying attention to earning belonging. Brands build lasting strength — Share of Cultural Voice (SOCV) — by owning a community niche so completely it claims them back, and by activating first to turn awareness into intent. Two frameworks from our cultural-marketing and social-commerce research:
Building SOCV
Niching down. Scaling up.
Within every broad category, communities nest. Own a niche so completely that the community claims you back.
