Corner Booth

STRATEGIC CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY.

works-in-context.

Why?

Understanding from the inside-out.

Imagining from the outside-in.

To extrapolate a more potent way forward.

Who?

Strategists who conduct texture-rich qualitative and ethnographic research.

Researchers who create future-facing strategic foundations.

Creative-concepters who use distinctive insight as fuel.

When?

It’s time to find renewed energy, alignment and potential between culture, brand and market.

It’s time for a dose of strategic courage. 

It’s time to generate clarity, distinction and momentum.

Where?

Along the research-strategy-creative continuum when divergence and/or convergence are critical.

Brooklyn-based with the ability to move.

How?

The work begins with questions and hypotheses.

The work begins with idiosyncrasies, contradictions and latent potential.

The work begins with a brief.

N.B.

Currently Corner Booth does not have F/T employees, plans for rapid-growth, expansions, sales, mergers or acquisitions.

Corner Booth does have first-order principles, approaches and processes and a trusted professional + creative global network, working towards more equitable practices within our industry.

We really love it here.
Like, we can’t not do this.
This is lifework.
