Cultural Strategy: Using Innovative Ideologies to Build Breakthrough Brands

Product Information

This investment priority will support the cultural infrastructure necessary for a thriving cultural ecosystem. It belongs to all of us, it’s anything that’s important, a learnt expression of life, and how society expresses itself. If the purpose of this wider strategy is cultural transformation then the legacy of 2023 is that in activating a new sense of place we can find new senses of belonging.

It is an ambitious document and we will only successfully deliver on the priorities in the strategy if we work in partnership to enable this to happen. Stories, along with other immersive audience experiences, constitute the core ideas of larger narratives.We invite comments here, as well as conversations far and wide, in the hopes that it will advance this important work. The principle of reciprocity involves an open dialogue on the contribution of culture and creativity to all aspects of life in the city. Consider not only how to attract more diverse employees, but practical ways to support, develop and promote these team members throughout their employee journey. Long standing global approaches to sustainable city development have recognised the importance of social, ecological and economic factors and the interconnections between each of these three pillars. Belfast’s cultural statement is a synthesis of your voices and an indication of the direction in which you feel the city needs to travel in relation to culture.

The strategy does not constitute a blueprint, but rather supports a philosophy of enablement with a view to creating a fluid, permeable place which values creativity and an ‘anything is possible’ attitude. Our issues are complex and long standing but creativity and resilience are in the very fabric of our city and our people. Much like other parts of the business, this strategic approach will ensure your culture isn’t merely an afterthought, but a core competitive advantage. As well as being one of the world’s oldest and most important trading hubs, over centuries the Square Mile has fostered the long-term growth of arts and crafts, learning, public entertainment, green spaces, marketplaces, fairs, and pageantry. Projects such as the European Capital of Culture bid have shown what can be achieved when a city pulls together to support culture as a driving force for social and economic benefit.

If not, offering guidance on meeting best practices and expectations can shape culture by influencing how teams engage in these forums. This will include those partners working in a range of areas including health and well-being, education, regeneration and business. You can see this at play below between what happens in the cultural realm (the top of the timeline) and the political realm (the bottom of the timeline) below. And rich in culture, talent and creativity: with our history of making things, our extraordinary street art, our live music scene, our sporting legends and our unique dialect that helps give this city its different sound. These spaces are complemented by our historic and contemporary cultural venues including our museums, theatres and galleries.
