Micro-Adaptation
Retailers adjust to the lack of space in large cities with micro pop-up stores
Implications - Traditionally used as a way to create urgency among consumers, pop-up shops are now becoming a necessity in largely populated cities
across the world. As a result, companies are opening small, temporary locations in seemingly odd places, such as subways or parked trucks. This satisfies
the consumer desire for convenience, while ensuring companies adapt to today's (figuratively and literally) crowded market.

Social Commerce
Social media influences e-commerce in a way that encourages community buying
Implications - Social media has not only changed the way consumers communicate, but the way they shop as well. Recently, the world of e-commerce has
begun mimicking its communication-based digital counterpart of social media, resulting in online community-enabled purchasing. This social commerce
speaks to consumers' need to stay connected to their peers during purchase decisions, providing reassurance in their decision and satiating the need

Consumer-Controlled Innovations
Involving consumers in the creation of products boosts branding
Implications - A step above crowdsourcing, consumer-controlled innovations allow customers to take part in the creation of actual products. This signifies a
shift in the consumer-company dynamic, as it becomes clear the best way to ensure customer satisfaction, is to give the customer control of the brand.

Gamble Economics
Today's fast pace means less conceptualizing and more testing
Implications - Most startups had clued in to the value of quick testing years ago, with large companies lagging behind and aiming for perfection before
execution. Recently, however, it seems companies are learning this valuable lesson the hard way, especially during the recession. With both large and small
corporations understanding the value of soft launches, a demand for devices, apps, or platforms that make testing easier can be observed.

Modest-Chic
The rise of conventional couture redefines what it means to be attractive
Implications - The fashion industry had its roots planted in sexuality for quite some time; however, this changes as the definition of what's attractive shifts
away from explicit physicality and more toward intellect. Resulting in more modest, yet modern apparel, this movement changes more than just the fashion
industry. Companies from all industries can benefit from putting less emphasis on physical sexuality in advertising and marketing st [continued online]

Edgy Environmentalism
Consumers are responding to more subversive calls to action
Implications - Though the dialogue around environmentalism has never been more ubiquitous, those invested in the cause are turning to more unexpected
ways of getting the message across, like graffiti. This edgy approach is not only more intriguing to viewers, but creates an appealing air of exclusivity to those
invested in environmentalism by attaching itself to a sub-culture.

Omnipresent Connectivity
Consumers are seeking out a more accessible way to stay connected
Tech
Implications - The ubiquity of tech culture and tech products is influencing a consumer demand for more affordable goods. Whether it be lightweight tablets or
smartphones designed for long-term value, the tech industry, previously seen as somewhat elite and inaccessible, is making a turn for the inexpensive. This
affordability not only applies to the tech market, but could more broadly influence typically high-end markets like fashion or auto.

Sampletising
Brands are using high-tech innovations to allow consumer to try before buying
Implications - Offering consumers more peace of mind with the equivalent of a "test drive" for a range of goods, sampling is becoming a more and more
pervasive approach to promoting products. To streamline this process and make it easier for consumers, brands are adopting technologically advanced ways
of enhancing sampling experiences.

Pseudo Domestic
Recipes using ready-made ingredients make for seemingly expert cuisine skills
Implications - In this age, very few have the time to create truly impressive cuisine, resulting in pseudo-domestic recipes that allow for corners to be cut.
Modern foodies are steering less toward homemade ingredients and more toward the ready-made, time-saving options. Ultimately, consumers will
appreciate any opportunity to save time, especially if they're still able to feel the pride that comes with cooking one's own dish.

Functional Out-of-Home
Brands are adopting useful physical advertisements to benefit consumers
Implications - Instead of mundane billboards or bus stop ads, these experiential campaigns take things to a tangible level, giving consumers a reason to
engage with a brand's message physically and mentally, creating a higher likelihood of unaided awareness. Whether it be protection from the rain or added
ease of travel, functional out-of-home ads are a memorable and powerful form of advertising.

Ocular Social
Sites like Pinterest and Instagram introduce visual-only social media
Implications - Though Twitter's text-based communication proves the preferred form of social media for many, visual-focused sites like Instagram introduce
the concept of photocommunication. Faster and more instantly gratifying than words, photos are the next step in streamlining media. This prompts
companies in all industries to place more focus on visual branding.

Simulated Home
The feeling of true comfort is created through residential-inspired design
Implications - Though escapism has reigned supreme for consumers for quite some time, it sees a backlash in simulated home. Those in the design and
hotel industries are now realizing that though exoticism provides a rush, consumers are most comfortable in spaces that feel and look like a more familiar
space. The appeal of home-inspired public design lies in its nostalgia factor as well as a desire for true relaxation.

Kit Culture
Consumers flock to the holistically ready-made for convenience
Implications - In the age of instant gratification, consumers crave easy, quick solutions to life's problems. This desire has birthed a kit culture based in readymade systems assembled to solve various problems. Effectively rendering planning and conceptualizing unnecessary, kits allow consumers to enjoy the
benefits of problem solving, without the effort.

Villain Worship
The bad guy takes the place of the hero as the go-to idol
Pop Culture
Implications - Heroes represent the part of the human psyche focused on progress and doing the right thing. For many, the hero figure is more of an
aspiration than a reality. The villain, however, represents the more indulgent, self-serving side of the human condition. In today's selfcentric society, the villain
is simply easier to relate to.

Implications - Online memes are now catapulting regular people and pets into fully-fledged stardom. Grumpy Cat, Psy (from Gangnam style) and various

in pop culture may be short-lived, their influence at the their peak is intense.

The language of the Internet is being used in campaigns and branding
Implications - Those who are active on social media know that the Internet has its own special language. Companies with their finger on the pulse of pop
culture are now taking techspeak beyond the screen and into the real world by incorporating things like hashtags and Internet slang into branding. This
establishes a connection with Gen Y, making these brands seem like peers to the Digital Natives.

Hyper-Convenient Commuting
Public transit provides ways for consumers to complete important tasks
Implications - Though people who take the subway do so for convenience's sake, taking your city's public transit leaves you with less control of your arrival
time home. This makes it more difficult to complete daily tasks in a timely manner. To battle this, many companies are capitalizing on the daily commute by
offering ways to do things like grocery shop while on the move. This creates a unique business opportunity for brands to target the [continued online]

Latina Flamboyance
A cultural passion for colour is reflected on runways and in editorials
Implications - Reflecting the cultural heritage of Hispanic countries, bold colors are favored in lieu of more understated fashion styles when it comes to the
women's apparel market. Latin American culture is broadly more extroverted and expressive in contrast to Parisian culture, for instance, and this important
cultural aspect is being highlighted in the fashion industry.

Artistic Aging
The beauty of age is taken a step further through artwork

Burger chains attract foodies by adding unconventional flavors to their menus
Implications - In 2013, legions of foodies are blogging, tweeting and recording clips of their adventures with odd edibles. To keep up, chain restaurants must

Flavor Reversal
The line between savory and sweet is blurred in modern cuisine
Implications - As the consumer desire for novelty and uniqueness increases, acknowledged societal standards are broken. This can be seen in all industries,

experience into the dining experience.

Spicy Over Sweet
Hispanic demand for more savory sweets is changing the way consumers see candy

Upcycled Dining

restaurateurs and others from the service industry have thus combined quality and novelty by basing businesses in nontraditional upcycled spaces. This
creates a story around the brand, adding extra value to the product.

Peoplevertising
Creative ad agencies literally use consumers as vehicles for their message
Implications - A true mark of success for a company is when consumers begin literally branding themselves with their mark by wearing their merchandise, or
even getting tattoos of their logos. Ad agencies have caught on to this and thus, are beginning to buy this level of fandom by commissioning people to act as
walking billboards. Though extreme, this method is sure to cause a stir through its shock factor alone.

These seemingly random concepts may confuse consumers, but in the process, abstract ads will spark conversation.

apps and devices exist to help consumers create music in an instant, providing a channel for instant expression.
