Consumers have changed, and the businesses that form around them are principled, purposeful and creative. The next generation of entrepreneurs thinks differently, and Cult Status will show you how you can too.

Enough has been written about huge cult brands founded last century – Nike, Apple, Red Bull. What will the cult companies of tomorrow look like? Who is amassing the kind of passionate community that gives them the best chance of getting through difficult times to build long-term, sustainable success?

Tim Duggan, the co-founder of one of Australia’s most innovative and awarded new media companies, has studied hundreds of successful entrepreneurs and change makers over the last decade to uncover what they all have in common.

 

Learn from the founders of modern brands like Blake Mycoskie (TOMS), Zoë Foster Blake (Go-To), Tim Brown (Allbirds), Daniel Flynn (Thankyou), Lucy Moss (SIX), Simon Griffiths (Who Gives A Crap), Hira Batool Rivzi (SheKab), James Bartle (Outland Demin), Michelle Andrews & Zara MacDonald (Shameless), Oscar McMahon (Young Henrys), Jarin Baigent (Jarin Street) and more.
