Culture Marketing Consultant (m/f/x)
Mission: Be the human bridge between culture signals, real-world cultures, and brand needs.
jack rabbit is The Relevance Company.
We help brands win where relevance is created today:
in culture and inside AI systems.
As our Strategic Culture Consultant, you are the strategic human-in-the-loop: the person who connects what we detect (signals) with what’s actually happening (real cultures), and translates that into what brands need to do next.
You don’t just “research culture.”
You validate it, activate it, and make it usable—for both our system and our clients.
Your Core Role: The Bridge
You sit at the intersection of three worlds:
Culture Signals (Culture OS / insights)
You pressure-test what we’re seeing, correct it, sharpen it, and make it real.Real-life Cultures (communities / tastemakers / scenes)
You build access and relationships—so we can reach cultures others can’t.Brands (client needs / strategy / execution)
You understand the business problem, then translate it into cultural moves that are credible inside the culture.
Your Mission
MISSION 01 — Sharpen Culture Signals (Human-in-the-loop)
Pressure-test, validate, and refine the cultural signals surfaced by our Culture OS.
Add nuance, context, and field intelligence that AI alone cannot see.
MISSION 02 — Build Real Access to Culture
Develop and maintain relationships with communities, tastemakers, collectives, and scene shapers.
Open doors and touchpoints others can’t reach.
MISSION 03 — Translate Culture into Brand Strategy
Turn raw cultural reality into credible, actionable strategic moves for brands.
MISSION 04 — Guide Clients Through Cultural Complexity
Act as a partner who aligns client ambition with cultural truth — clearly, confidently, without theatre.
MISSION 05 — Protect Cultural Integrity
Ensure brands enter cultures with credibility, respect, and relevance — never extraction, never cosplay.
