At Collage, we measure cultural fluency by gauging consumer sentiment across six key dimensions: Relevance, Fit, Memories, Trust, Advocacy, and Values. These dimensions are weighed and combined to create the Brand Cultural Fluency Quotient (B-CFQ) score. The B-CFQ score gives our members crucial insights into their brand’s resonance across different consumer segments and strategies for improvement.
Our latest research has identified the top brands for Asian American consumers based on average B-CFQ score and then deep dives into three brands that perform uniquely well with the segment compared to non-Asians:
Apple, Coursera, and Spam.

The Big Picture
Top brands celebrate Asian Americans’ cultural heritage and prioritize innovation.
What Surprised Us:
As a global leader in the technology space, you would think that Apple is highly resonant across race and ethnicity. However, Apple is uniquely resonant with Asian Americans. Apple ranks 19th for Asian Americans and is a whopping 139 rank places lower for non-Asian consumers. Its trifecta of championing AAPI cultural heritage, product ingenuity, and global engagement and trust earn the brand high praise from Asian Americans.
Why It Matters
Brands that demonstrate a nuanced understanding and celebration of AAPI cultural heritage and position themselves as inventive will resonate deeply with Asian Americans. They also appeal more broadly to other consumer groups – Hispanics, LGBTQ+ people, and Gen Z in particular – through Halo Effects.
