1021 Creative

We’re 1021 Creative, a global cultural insights & curatorial studio. We help the world’s most influential brands and platforms decode what’s happening in culture—and make smarter, more meaningful decisions because of it. We’re a team of wonderers and wanderers: curious minds who move through the world, both physical and digital, to uncover the nuance of human experience. Our team spans 12 countries and speaks 28 languages, embedded in the communities where culture is lived, not just observed. From trend identification and audience insight to content strategy, music curation, and metadata optimization—we connect the dots between signal and story, noise and meaning. We help our clients: Stay ahead of cultural shifts and understand how to respond with clarity and confidence. Strengthen strategies, briefs, and audience experiences with real-world insight. Show up in culture with more relevance, resonance, and consistency. Make smarter decisions about what to say, where to say it, and who to say it to. That’s how we help brands stay relevant—not just in theory, but in execution. Our work is as strategic as it is soulful. As sharp as it is surprising. As global as it is grounded. Clients include Apple, YouTube, Snap, Amazon, National Geographic, HarperCollins, Keith Richards (yes, that Keith Richards), and more.
