It is foundational.”
It structures how meaning is formed, how values are expressed, and how futures are imagined and realized.
Everything we do starts from that position.
The Practice
A cultural practice for the organizations shaping cultural life.
ElevenThirtySix is a cultural practice for the organizations shaping global cultural life — cultural and civic institutions, and the brands building meaning in multicultural markets. We bring strategic counsel where cultural intelligence is competitive advantage.
We work holistically and from the idea outward — clarifying how an organization creates and sustains meaning true to the experience of its communities and customers, then translating that into communications, content, and presence that is consistent, elevated, and gets to the heart of the work.

Promote
Lifting what matters into wider view.
Promotion is the work of bringing what your organization stands for into wider view. We shape the narrative and anticipate the cultural shifts that determine how your work is received — by audiences, communities, and markets.
Narrative Architecture
The language, campaigns, and programming that shape how an organization is understood in public life.
Preserve
Stewarding what is held in common.
Preservation is the work of safeguarding mission, meaning, and position through moments of growth, transition, and reorientation. We bring strategic counsel to the long-form decisions of stewardship — for institutions navigating change, and for brands navigating cultural moments.
Institutional Positioning
Clarifying who you are, what you stand for, and how mission, leadership voice, and public presence move in coherence.
Leadership Transitions
Strategic counsel for leaders navigating organizational growth, leadership change, or strategic reinvention.
Mission Stewardship
Safeguarding what your organization stands for across time — through changes in leadership, audience, and the cultural landscape that surrounds it.
Present
Bringing the work into public life.
Presentation is the public-facing work — how your organization shows up in cultural life, and how your voice carries within it.
Cultural Programming
Strategic counsel on how an organization shows up publicly: programs, experiences, exhibitions, brand expression, civic engagement, the design of presence.
Leadership Voice
Developing the public voice of cultural leaders — how the head of an organization speaks, writes, and shows up in the cultural conversation.
For Creative Practitioners
If you are building a creative life.
The practice shares its work openly with anyone building a creative life on their own terms — through teaching, writing, conversation, and the spaces where the field meets itself. Begin wherever you are most drawn.
Begin
Engagements begin with a conversation.
We work with a small number of organizations each year — cultural and civic institutions, and the brands shaping global cultural life. If you are navigating a strategic question and this work resonates, we would welcome the opportunity to speak.
