2008 Trend Report

 

Looking to do an in-house trend presentation or session? Check out our exclusive Annual Trend Reports, covering dozens of emerging consumers trends and hundreds of (brand) examples. It comes in an easy to present / share PowerPoint format, including visuals, videos, speaking notes and brainstorming tips & questions.

Condense the 200+ slides into a 1 hour keynote presentation, or find enough material to hold a half-day trend workshop.

Exclusive yet affordable

The best part? Instead of spending thousands and thousands of dollars, euros or pounds getting this kind of content together, let alone the cost of flying someone in to present these trends and examples, the current 2008 Trend Report will only cost you USD 699 / EUR 499 / GBP 349, or the equivalent in any other currency. And this includes the tips, the videos, and even updates to the report, which we'll be posting until August 2008. More on the report, incuding how to order it, here >>>

Last but not least, some feedback from business professionals about how they used our previous report (the 2007 PowerPoint edition):



What business professionals did with our previous report

“This format works well as we can use it to support our thinking and quickly integrate the insights into our presentations. I have used it mostly as a tool to demonstrate other companies' approaches in different markets.”

Jeffrey Veffer, Associated Director Innovation and Strategy
Bell, Canada


“The slides are very useful to make the trends come alive… we've been sharing them with a wider team, using them as inspiration for strategy sessions… keep the inspiration coming!”

Joost Houben, Brand Manager
Unilever, The Netherlands


“We turned to the 2007 trend report when we were putting together a presentation to garner creativity within our corporation. Your report helped us remind others that inspiration is everywhere. We are still hearing feedback from colleagues that it was the best meeting they have ever attended.”

Erin Ziff, Strategy Analyst
VF/Fruit of the Loom, US


“Very happy with the report. The presentation format worked well for me in explaining and giving working examples of the trend. The trends information forms a very important element of our Innovation Pipeline. All idea generation and concept development should start from a consumer/customer trend, otherwise you need to ask yourself the question, why are we doing this?… ”

Jason de Kauwe, Global Innovation Manager
BP, UK


“A comprehensive and stimulating report. Within 24hrs, we had deployed the report within our organization to support the innovation framework and fuel new ideas. The results speak for themselves."

Kristie Goshow, Group Director of Ebusiness & Customer Development
Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts, Dubai


“The information which was included in this report is really helpful to my work — planning market research, executioning market communication and creating product concepts.”

Dong Kwan Park, Marketing Manager
LG Electronics, South Korea


“Thoughtful, thought-provoking and extremely well presented. One of the best sources available on emerging consumer trends, Trendwatching.coms's annual Trends Report has been very valuable input for our work at IMD on how organizations translate the global trends which are reshaping the world of business into today's decision-making. Our participants have also responded to trendwatching.com's insights with enthusiasm and we will be on the waiting list for the next report.”

Tracey Keys, Program Manager and co-author of IMD global trends materials
IMD, Switzerland


“Really inspirational; felt that many of the trends were relevant for our line of business, visually very strong, presented parts of the report at a strategy seminar for the top management group in our company.”

Arne Fangberget, Market Research Director
Allergruppen, Norway


“We are very pleased with the report: the content is great and is a good start for idea brainstorming — our strategic planners use the trend info to come up with fresh strategy for their clients, while our creative team, designers and activation team focus on turning the insights into creative campaigns for the Thai market. We also use the trend report as a stimulus for creative brainstorming with clients: we mix our knowledge of Thai consumers with brand/product-relevant ideas from your report. The outcome so far has been interesting, effective and fun.”

Krittima Nat Thammamitr, Strategic Planning Director Indochina
JWT, Thailand


“Very thought provoking, using the themes with management colleagues”

Chris Harris, Global Marketing Director
Vertu, UK


“Very happy with the report, we've been using it to inspire people, and set up monthly brainstorming sessions to come up with new products.”

Rosana Neves, R&D Manager
Johnson & Johnson Comércio e  Distribuição Ltda, Brazil


“I've found the trend report and updates extremely concise and impactful. Perfect for stimulating internal discussions.”

Paul Freeman, Marketing Manager
