A research platform built for the clients who already trust Culturati with their biggest decisions.

Culturati Research & Consulting delivers cultural intelligence to brands like Coca-Cola, Burger King, Tyson, Cigna, and Intuit — companies that don't work with firms that look like an afterthought. The old WordPress site looked like an afterthought. We rebuilt it from the ground up, structured six custom content archives, built a mega menu that actually works, and ran a year of SEO alongside it.

The Challenge

Fortune 100 clients, a site that didn't reflect it.
Culturati's research and consulting work sits at the table with some of the largest brands in the world. The website wasn't keeping up.

Culturati Research & Consulting works with the brands that shape consumer culture — Coca-Cola, Burger King, Tyson, Cigna, Dole, Intuit, Anheuser-Busch. Their research goes to the table where major decisions get made. Their website wasn’t reflecting that.

We rebuilt the platform on WordPress with six custom content archives, a JavaScript mega menu that surfaces the full offer in one view, and a design system built for a firm that earns its place alongside the world’s largest brands. A year of SEO ran alongside it after launch, building the organic reach that a content-rich research operation should have.

Before we started, what we found
  • Dated design that undercut a premium firm a firm working with Coca-Cola, Burger King, Tyson, and Cigna needs a digital presence that signals the same level of rigor. The previous site didn't communicate credibility, precision, or scale to the decision-makers evaluating them.
  • Content library that outgrew its structure years of research, insights, leadership pieces, and syndicated studies had accumulated with no architecture behind them. Visitors couldn't find what they needed, and search engines couldn't index what mattered.
  • Navigation that buried the offer six distinct service disciplines and multiple content streams ran through a flat, generic nav. Buyers had to dig to understand what Culturati actually did and for whom.
  • No SEO foundation for a content-rich firm Culturati was producing the kind of research and thought leadership content that earns search visibility — but without meta structure, keyword strategy, or a content architecture that search engines could parse, none of it was working for them.
What We Did

Six archives, six pillars, one platform
that finally matches the firm behind it.

Four moves: a modern WordPress foundation built for a complex content operation, six custom post type archives that organize everything Culturati produces, a JavaScript mega menu that surfaces the full offer at a glance, and a year of SEO running alongside the platform after launch.

01 ·

Modern WordPress foundation

Rebuilt the site from the ground up on WordPress with a design system built for a high-caliber research firm — clean, data-forward, and authoritative without being cold. The visual identity supports Culturati's reputation as the cultural intelligence partner for brands that take their audience seriously.

Applied: Visual design · WordPress development · Responsive layout · Brand alignment
02 ·

Six custom content archives

Built dedicated post type archives for Services, Insights, Leadership, News, Blog, and Syndicated Studies — each with its own template, taxonomy, and filtering behavior. Years of accumulated research and thought leadership now live in a structure that visitors can navigate and search engines can index.

Applied: Custom post types · Taxonomy design · Archive templates · CMS architecture
03 ·

JavaScript mega menu

Replaced the flat nav with a JavaScript-powered mega menu that exposes all six service pillars, all six content archives, and key entry points in a single expanded view. The full offer is visible from the first click — no hunting, no buried pages, no dead ends for buyers trying to evaluate fit.

Applied: JavaScript navigation · UX design · Information architecture

Year-long SEO program

Ran a continuous SEO program for a year after launch — keyword targeting aligned to cultural intelligence, multicultural marketing, and consumer insights research terms, on-page optimization across the archive structure, and ongoing content strategy to build organic reach for the firm's published research.

The Results

A platform that earns
the trust Culturati already had.

6 Archives Custom content types organized and indexed Services, Insights, Leadership, News, Blog, and Syndicated Studies each have their own archive — years of research and thought leadership now structured for both visitors and search engines.
6 Pillars Service disciplines structured for evaluation A clear six-pillar services grid gives Fortune 100 buyers exactly what they need to evaluate fit — what Culturati does, for whom, and at what level of rigor.
1 Year SEO program running after launch A year of ongoing SEO — keyword targeting, on-page optimization, and content strategy — built the organic foundation that a content-rich research firm needs to be found on the terms that matter.
A site that signals the right caliber

Coca-Cola, Burger King, Tyson, Cigna, Dole, Intuit, and Anheuser-Busch are on the client list. The site now communicates the same level of precision and authority those relationships represent — before a single proposal is sent.

A content library that works

Culturati had been producing valuable research for years. The custom archive structure made that library navigable, searchable, and indexable for the first time — turning accumulated content into a working asset instead of a buried archive.

Marketing autonomy from day one

CMS training at handoff meant the Culturati team could publish new research, add leadership profiles, and update service pages without a developer. The platform was built to be run by the people who know the content best.

What Happened Next

A rebuild that became a year of SEO partnership.

The Culturati site launched as a complete platform — six custom archives, mega menu navigation, a six-pillar services structure, and a Fortune 100 client logo wall that validates credibility on arrival. The team left with CMS training and the ability to run the site independently from day one.

The engagement extended into a year-long SEO program after launch — building organic reach for Culturati's published research, targeting the cultural intelligence and consumer insights terms their prospective clients use, and establishing the kind of search presence a firm of their caliber should have had from the start.
