Projected Publicity
Marketers turn to large-scale, low-cost mediums to get their
message across
Implications - Billboards and print ads are stepping out of the spotlight as large-scale
projections on buildings in pedestrian-heavy areas take center stage within the
marketing realm. Advertisers and big brands have experienced success working with
such a low-cost, viral medium and this form of advertising is picking up major
momentum.

Interactive Retail
Stores focus on customer engagement as primary business
strategy
Implications - When product differentiation is non-existent and advertising goes
unnoticed, consumer engagement becomes key in business success. Many retailers
are turning to interactive shopping experiences to solidify relationships. Since
purchases are often the result of emotions, maximizing a customer's hands-on
experience within a retail environment -- whether in a physical store or online -- may
increase positive feelings and brand loyalty.

Charitable Deviance
Social campaigns place heavier emphasis on attention-grabbing
methods
Implications - In a society where charities abound, it is becoming harder for the socialminded consumer to choose where to donate his or her money and time. Competition
amongst charities and social initiatives has risen steadily, which has provided the
impetus for an increase in unique and innovative charitable projects, some even
bordering on bizarre.

Gadget-infused accessories make for easy connectivity
Implications - Making their way into the hearts of the fashionable and geeky alike are
stylish, hi-tech accessories that can do everything from monitor your blood pressure to
control your iPod. With a rising preference for portability and easy-to-use technology,
it's no surprise that many designers are trying to merge fashion and function.

Brand Reversion
Nostalgia opening the door for childhood brands
Implications - The continual search for nostalgic, childhood symbols indicates that
consumers may want more than the imposing, mega-brands of today. The Walt Disney
Company has managed to capture--and stay in--the hearts of consumers, as well as
inspire products in everything from furniture to fashion. Thus, being yesterday's longestablished brand may prove more beneficial in today's crowded marketplace.

On-the-Spot Style
Consumers turn to street fashion for "real" style inspiration
Implications - Rather than looking to designers and fashion ads, many consumers are
relying on street captures of on-the-go style mavens to determine their own fashion
choices. Even brands are applying the theme to advertising, taking full advantage of
the growing popularity of impromptu style-stalking. After all, a true fashionista needs no
warning.

Real-Timing
Consumers desire instant gratification from both information
and products
Diverse markets are honing in on real-time features in order to appeal to today's
demand for immediacy. With such a vast array of choice, consumers' on-the-spot
desires have created a "now" culture like never before. For both information and
consumer goods, real-timing adds an extra component to competitive strategy.

Modern Cubism
Square geometry in design coincides with preference to reduce
clutter
Implications - A preference for clean lines in design aesthetic has led to the embrace of
the cube silhouette in the design of everything from architecture to furniture. The
simple geometric shape of the cube provides a natural representation of the minimalist
tendency that is becoming prevalent in consumers' minds.

Next Besting (UPDATE)
Consumers bypass traditional brands for the 'next best
alternative'
Implications - In our current period of economic uncertainty, consumers are still buying
things, but they are becoming more conscious of what they actually need and why. In
all categories, they are in pursuit of the 'next best thing'. We coined this term 'Next
Besting' in 2008, but we continue to see it play out in all categories, including fashion
and technology where budget-friendly alternative products are breaking new ground.

Tangible Printing
3D printing expands into different industries, becomes more
accessible
Implications - The technology of 3D printing used to be mainly reserved for firms with
large financial resources, but lower costs have increased its accessibility. Since 3D
printing allows for prototyping in all of its forms, it is gaining mainstream momentum in
industries like fashion, architecture and health, with DIY concepts even carving a path
into the homes of consumers.

Hyperrealism
Real life is simulated in photorealistic artworks that defy
deception
Implications - Artists are becoming ever more concerned with the accurate
representation of reality, attempting to recreate real life with photorealistic works. In an
era of misleading advertising and falsehoods like airbrushing, it follows that consumers
will show their concern and appreciation for realism in everything they do and see.

Toddler Touchscreens
Hi-tech tablets are outfitted to appeal to toddler development
Implications - While usually thought of as adult-only technology, touchscreen devices
are being marketed towards toddler development. Using touchscreen platforms
leveraged by the popular iPad, developers have been producing games that appeal to
next gen parents who want to integrate new technology into parenting.

Democratic Selling
Online retailers rely on customer votes to push production
Implications - Vote-based selling is gaining momentum in the world of online retail as
businesses proactively employ the opinions of their customers. While democratic
selling relies on crowdsourcing, it goes one step further by collecting customer votes
and basing production entirely on those votes. So, the voice of the customer really is
the voice of the customer.

Rockstar Self-Expressionism
Rock 'n' roll styling and attitude receive newfangled attention
Implications - Rock 'n' roll is no longer a subculture, but something that inspires many
facets of mainstream innovation. The renewed fascination with the rockstar lifestyle
has trickled into industries from fashion to marketing, in which the glamorous life and
hard attitude of rock 'n' roll is revived through ripped jeans and studded jackets, and
rock-themed accommodations, events and artwork.

Modern Kidvertising
Marketers call on an adult sensibility to sell children's products
Implications - By advertising features like eco-friendly textiles and minimalist decor,
marketers are appealing to adult interests in order to sell children's products. While
some advertising strategies market directly toward children, either through kid-friendly
commercials or brightly-patterned goods placed on the lower shelves, advertising for
kids' products is being redirected where the money is: the parents.

Luxury Lives On
Despite economy, airlines up the ante with extravagant extras
Implications - Economic uncertainty may be causing most strategies to become more
conservative, but indulgence-loving consumers remain. Recognizing this, some airlines
are transforming their high-class cabins to include extremely extravagant services. And
if a carrier can maintain low prices at the economy level as well, it may well be able to
secure upper-class and budget-conscious travelers.

Geriatric Couture
Seniors become the anti-fashion inspiration for young people
Implications - Geriatric-inspired fashion is gaining ground in both personal and runway
style. Looking to their grandparent's closets, young people are finding madcap prints,
old-school crochet and excessive embroidery à la mode. By remixing what was
previously considered bland, the modern granny style can be considered anti-fashion
for those looking to rebel against more trendy ensembles.

Perpetual Adaptation
Obessed with aesthetics, society embarks on the eternal
makeover
Implications - Consumers still place tremendous importance on aesthetics, despite the
existence of campaigns championing inner beauty over physical attractiveness and
product functionality over external design. Makeovers of every kind run the gamut, with
everything from iconic cartoons to plane interiors receiving generous revamps.
Technology, especially, is an area in which the continual search for aesthetic
betterment seems never-ending.

Discreet Consumerism
Stealth advertising and anti-branding lure the logo-averse
Implications - The wave of consumers against branding has grown in power, fueled in
great part by the recession as credit-crunched consumers blame mega-brands for
rough economic times. To win over consumers, indie businesses are promoting
independence, while those with big names are dropping logos and rebranding with no
brand.
