    You Choose What to Buy Based on Social Identity

    Why do you buy what you buy? Why did you buy those shoes? Why those clothes? Why that computer? You might say you bought them because of the price or the features or the reviews, and that might be partly true. However, it’s absolutely not the full story. So, if price points and reviews don’t make you buy what you buy, what does? Your buying decisions are shaped by what you want OTHER people to believe about you. Here's How...

    See How We All Use Consumerism to Validate Our Identity

    Why do you buy what you buy? What made you get that car? Why that toothpaste? Why that pair of shoes? Maybe you’ve never thought about it (which is ok), but we think about it all the time. Marketers are constantly contemplating what makes you buy what you buy. And do you want to know what we know…about you? You buy what you buy because of what you believe - specifically what you believe (and wish to believe) about yourself and what you want others to believe about you. (Don’t worry, we all do this). Listen to the episode to see how.

  8. Market Research Shouldn’t Include Race

    Market Research Shouldn’t Include Race

    In this episode of the Owl Street Studio Podcast, we share our thoughts and perspective on race and demographics. We discuss how we feel that demographics must talk about race, but that they should do it through the much more nuanced terms and concepts of ethnicity, heritage, identity, and presentation. We then unpack each of these terms and show how they connect and build upon each other. Plus, we share how these terms help incorporate the lived experiences of code switching, passing, and colorism; and we share how they help incorporate the experience of class and able-bodiedness into the discussion of race and culture.
