About this listen
In For the Culture, Marcus Collins argues that true cultural engagement is the most powerful vehicle for influencing behavior. If you want to get people to move, you must first understand the underlying cultural forces that make them tick.
Collins uses stories from his own work as an award-winning marketer—from spearheading digital strategy for Beyoncé, to working on Apple and Nike collaborations, to the successful launch of the Brooklyn Nets NBA team—to break down the ways in which culture influences behavior and how readers can do the same. With a deep perspective built on a century’s worth of data, For the Culture gives readers the tools they need to inspire collective change by leveraging the cheat codes used by some of the biggest brands in the world.

Critic reviews
“Perceptive…[Collins] has a knack for delivering his smart ideas in accessible prose. This is a superior program on how the business world can use the interplay between culture, consumption, and identity to their advantage.” —Publishers Weekly
“[Collins] offers plenty of food for thought about how the social landscape is evolving… With personal stories and a dry wit, he bridges the gap between cultural theory and marketing practice.” —Kirkus
“A must-have for any leader, marketer, or simply any person who wants to understand how culture impacts the world around us and how they can [create] impactful contributions to the tapestry of what shapes human connection.”—God-Is Rivera, VP, Inclusive Marketing, Disney Media & Entertainment
"Marcus Collins does much more here than identify potent drivers of human conduct such as values, ideologies, norms, and trends. With compelling prose and vivid accounts, he locates their common source in the concept of culture—which he beautifully dissects and knits back together for readers like a skilled surgeon."—Robert Cialdini, author of Influence and Pre-Suasion
"Diving deeply into what moves real people, not personas and archetypes, Collins gives us a look into cultural nuances we can use to make meaningful connections and drive action. This book is insightful, enlightening, and sure to challenge any preconceived notions about communicating with the world. Talk the talk, walk the walk, and always do it for the culture.”
—Jay Norman, Global Head of Music Marketing, Spotify

"If you’ve ever wondered how some of the most successful businesses and brands in the world have caught fire and created enduring relevance, this book is well worth the read. In For The Culture, Collins provides an insightful blueprint for harnessing the power of identity and culture to ultimately build brand love and inspire action. After reading Collins' well-crafted gem, you will never go about marketing, advertising, or building communities quite the same way."—Kenny Mitchell, CMO, Snap
"We all know that culture can be a vehicle for influence, but in For the Culture, Collins shows us how. Collins provides fascinating deep-dives into the power of cultural community and illustrates how we can use it to change minds and inspire action."—Jonah Berger, Wharton Professor and bestselling author of Contagious, The Catalyst, and Magic Words
