Real insights. Real people. Real stories.


About

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.

Amelie | INTO mag. edition 03, Voices of East London youth.

It is a path of thoughts, a shared human quality, a curiosity about what is going on in the world, and a desire to transcribe it visually.
