Culture Up started as a conversation between people who came from completely different worlds.
We’re a small team of writers, editors, researchers, and creators who grew up in different places and carry different backgrounds with us. We don’t always agree, and that’s the point.
Each of us brought a different style and way of working, but one shared common vision: to share opinions and news honestly, without cutting corners.
Getting here wasn’t easy or simple. It took real time and effort to shape our content, countless rewrites, long nights, disagreements, and a lot of drafts along the way.
We might not always have the smoothest way to work, but it’s what keeps our stories honest. Nothing gets published just because one person liked it. Every piece is checked and reworked until it actually holds up.
Before anything reaches you, we study it, research it, and actually understand it.
We cover:
Covering that much ground properly is genuinely difficult, and we won’t pretend otherwise. It means sitting with our editorial team, going back and forth, cutting what doesn’t hold up, and reshaping a piece until it’s something we’re confident putting in front of you.
We’re also not done figuring this out, and we don’t want to be the only ones shaping it. If you’ve got thoughts, ideas, or something you think we got wrong, we want to hear it.
