Welcome to Episode 4: Where #BlackLivesMatter meets brand strategy
#BlackLivesMatter is the biggest global civil rights movement in decades. In this episode we share a strategic perspective on how brands have responded, the importance of living your values as a brand, and the challenge of acknowledging societal racism in marketing communications. Also - Black Lives Matter.

Adam Horne is creative director at Berghs Studio. He's an Australian in Sweden who is driven by curiosity. And fear, and money, and a love of expensive cheeses, but mainly he's driven by curiosity... He does it because he's fascinated by how people tick. He wants to know how everything works. Why something’s funnier in Finland than France. Why some people love sudoku while others share cat videos.
