What Retail Brands Can Learn from Beyoncé

Dr. Marcus Collins isn’t just a professor. He is an author, a marketing strategist who has worked with some of the world’s top tech brands and musical acts, and a cultural translator. It is this rich career history that has inspired his latest book, For the Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to Be, and is why he’s taking the stage at the Retail Innovation Conference & Expo this June. Host Alicia Esposito sat down with Marcus to discuss: How the culture of brands has evolved, and how culture impacts commerce; What commerce brands can learn from Beyoncé and other musical artists that are embedded into culture; and How brands like Patagonia are embracing cultural proximity to drive relevance and foster customer loyalty.RELATED LINKSLearn more about Dr. Marcus CollinsGet your copy of For the Culture: The Power Behind What We Buy, What We Do, and Who We Want to BeSee more insights from Dr. Marcus CollinsRegister for the Retail Innovation Conference & Expo to join Jack on the Store Tours around ChicagoDr. Marcus Collins will be the headline keynote speaker during the 2024 Retail Innovation Conference & Expo, taking place June 4-6, 2024, in Chicago.
