Trends were once the purview of the press and the brands that paid them. Now, social media has laid waste to this top-down approach to popular culture and consumers have taken much of the power back, leaving brands scrabbling to keep up, never mind get ahead.

● Learn how to forecast and identify trends before they pass you by
● Understand how to interpret cultural moments to fit your brand, not the other way round
● Discover how to build agility into your marketing plan so your team can behave reactively and keep pace with modern consumer behaviours
