Cultural intelligence is the ability to understand and navigate cultural differences and similarities, from communication styles and beliefs to the manner in which people engage with brands and the wider society around them. Our culturally diverse, heritage-rich team brings perspectives and lived experiences to every campaign, helping us create work that genuinely reflects the society we live in.
Sakura means Cherry Blossom in Japanese and symbolises the blossoming businesses we help: from when the seed is planted to the care it takes to watering, to the first shoots sprouting. The process of growth is patient, consistent and requires both humility and hard work. Sustainable work. Eventually, that work blossoms and continues to bloom with time and growth. The Japanese principle of hard work and the Sikhi principle of Chardikala is the soul of Sakura London. Chardikala is the unyielding rise of resilience through optimism in mind and spirit, through courage, humility and grace. Both Japanese and Sikhi values are foundational to Sakura London as a business.
