NCA, New Creative Authority

Strategy frominside the culture

Most strategy observes culture through a report. This programme teaches the other way: reading scenes you are part of, turning what you know into briefs corporates will fund, and building activations that bridge youth and industry, the way NCA’s first activation did.
