New York City is a strategists dream. You can experience culture from all around the world, learn from people from all walks of life, and see incredible art, theatre, music, and productions. You have the opportunity to learn more about the world, trends, culture, and people every day. It is a massive tourist destination so the diversity of people you can observe and interact with increases there as well. New York is a cultural hub full of ideas, inspiration, and content. There is so much going on that it is often hard to pick one thing to focus on observing, but I have never been anywhere that had so many different foods, cultures, people and national origins within a 5 block radius. New York is the internet of experiences. As a strategist, you are looking to find insights on people, what they do, how they act, where they go, what they think and how they interact with media. It is your job to know the culture, trends, and people. So, after spending a week in New York City, I think that it is a strategists dream because they can walk out of their front door and find the insight they are looking for, and learn something new about the world every day.
