§ 09 · Nation-brand & culture teams
Tourism boards & public sector
How your culture travels — measured.
Nation-brand and culture teams need to know how their culture is consumed at home and abroad. Cadence measures it behaviourally — the local-vs-imported balance, attention by geography, and the tone of coverage.
The question this desk brings
“How is our country’s culture being consumed at home and abroad?”
What Cadence reads for you — now
- The local-vs-imported balance across music and screen — cultural self-consumption vs export.
- Attention by geography (Wikipedia by language edition) and national news tone.
- The national thematic weather — what the home conversation is about and how it’s shifting (GDELT GKG themes).
- The cultural-register read for nation-brand and soft-power narratives.
France, this window: local repertoire is the clear majority of chart presence (~63%, measured artist-origin) and domestic culture dominates attention — a strong inward cultural moment, measurable and receipted for a nation-brand story.
Data we’d add for this sector
Sector-specific layers we can fold in — public, scrapable, API (free or via tools we hold) or datasets we already own. The signal stack extends to the question.
