Some of Our Top Spots
Some of Our Top Spots
Delivered the ultimate brand makeover for Godiva by identifying self-treating as a key trend driver, proposing stylish new partnerships, parties and print that reassured divas everywhere that it was “OK to Eat White Chocolate After Labor Day.” The brand’s savvy new look helped the premium chocolatier find its fashion sweet spot, selling for a record $850m.
Offered Edible Arrangements a fresh new perspective by suggesting the time was ripe for tropical fruit selections, smoothies and a fruity twist on the cake pop. The result? Phenomenal growth. Now ranked among the top 35 franchise systems in world, EA has more than 1,200 locations around the globe.
Built an intoxicating social buzz for spirit newbie Kinky Liquor by suggesting sponsorship of Cyndi Lauper’s still-in-development musical, Kinky Boots. The now historical Broadway hit not only scored 13 Tony nominations and six wins but, its “Kinky Bubbles” namesake had become the best-selling theatre concession cocktail ever, according to Variety.
We're Always Trending
We're Always Trending
Even though we regularly log hundreds of hours on blogs and on the street, endlessly surf screens, social sites and trade events, and scan thousands of newspaper and fashion magazine pages hunting for the next big thing, we aren’t just another trendhunter or, future forecaster.
We Love To Think Ahead
Using our expertise and insight, we assess people’s patterns and current cultural preferences and pinpoint future trends. And, then working as Trendslators, we take the most meaningful and use them to spark and inspire commercial successes for our clients.
These Days Our Vision is 2020
Researching the ‘now’ and predicting the ‘next’ is always challenging but, we’ve found by constantly honing and refining our methodologies, tuning into our instincts and regularly gathering a diverse group of trend experts, thinkers and influencers together to share their insights and perspectives on what will drive and motivate trends in the months ahead, we’re able to deliver the kind of timely trendslations that help companies and their brands, become and stay relevant. And to be sure of any new idea’s market viability, we often test in real time with the help of social media.
