Hear it straight from Arnold Wordwide’s Andrew Lynch and John Staffen. As Arnold’s cultural strategist, Andrew reads consumer trends within the matrix of a broad cultural context and keeps an open dialogue with academics and thought leaders in fields ranging from pop music to economics to media studies. Andrew has helped design and write a Mood & Mindset study which was launched as a service for clients of Arnold Worldwide as a way of tracking American’s shifting ideas, attitudes and values following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Since then, the Mood & Mindset research survey series shifted focus to examine a wide range of cultural issues and lifestyle trends as they relate to the current behavior of the American consumer.
