INTO Culture is a creative content and research studio that uses visual and cultural anthropology to deliver insights and inspiration about real people and real stories.
We draw on years of experience exploring youth, the realities and social codes of street culture, communities across the globe, and trends and behaviours at the fringes of society that become fodder for social influencers.
We’re based in Barcelona and London.
Real insights. Real people. Real stories.
Our Approach
We are visual storytellers, researchers, and big-thinkers.
Filmmaking & Photography
We make mini docs and take photographs and edit the content of the stories filmed with creativity and flow. For us, putting people at the heart of the stories we tell is essential.
Research & Insights
Through a mix of in-depth observation and on-the-fly interviews, we spend time with people to build relationships and capture personal stories and insights.
Editing & Layout
We capture and edit our films and photographs with style. And make tabloids, fanzines, and street installations with a social impact.
We team up to create
We collaborate with other creatives and research agencies to offer our extensive knowledge of proximity to urban culture and communities that can inspire and help your creative, marketing, innovation, and strategy teams.
Local recruitment
We recruit people through personal connection, and by going to the places where they spend time.
Global network
Let the INTO locals guide the way. We have friends in many corners of the world.
