Brands do NOT create culture.

Culturally resonant brands identify cultural currents relevant to their strategy and then grant that culture a platform.

This effectively results in a transference of those cultural associations to the brand - taking the cultural capital generated by others and turning it into economic capital, and (if you're really good at it) making sure everyone gets paid fairly. 

To show up in culture, brands must become a patron of it. And if you're trying to "shape" culture as a brand marketer, you've already misunderstood the assignment.
