“In our view there is already a ton of coverage of the trends that ivory tower professors and billionaire fund managers are seeing. What’s the edge in hearing the billionaire consensus view over and over again?
The edge comes from hearing new perspectives and new information like from the wedding planner who has worked with hundreds of couples during the pandemic and has noticed that couples are allocating significantly more of their wedding budgets on “”small details”” like personalized neon signs and eco-friendly customized digital invitations rather than paper invites. Or the accountant seeing how there’s a huge uptick in ecommerce clients generating revenue from in person popups.
Below, you’ll find some of the most thoughtful entrepreneurs and creatives in across various industries and markets sharing the trends they are seeing. ”

One of the biggest trends I am seeing is the sell of Seamoss and herbs. While this is a great alternative health solution to pharmaceuticals. I do not see too many sellers properly educating themselves and their consumers. I’ve had an ample amount of consumers come to me seeking guidance after they’ve gone extended periods of time consuming herbs and algae who have gone to the doctor after experiencing negative side effects and learned about traumatic health issues like tumors, blood clots, cancer, mineral deficiencies that were not present prior to choosing a more holistic lifestyle.

Personally I have noticed a shift in wedding trends since the Pandemic. We are seeing a LOT more elopements and small ceremony inquiries, and minimalistic weddings. Which I LOVE! More and more people seem to appreciate what is important in the day without being over the top. Even the number of guests seems to have dipped in the recent years. Read more>>

At this time in the entertainment industry, social media is taking a very important role, nowadays it is important to pay attention to your craft, but also to your social media. I found this difficult to accept at first, I wasn’t really into social media, but I had to learn the new game and adapt. In acting these days, more and more casting directors are asking you for your numbers or you can see more social media influencers taking on acting roles. Read more>>

The fiber arts, like other industries, have trends that go in and out of fashion. Right now, there are lots of crochet garments and accessories on the runway, so naturally, people are wanting to learn to crochet. I’ve taught record numbers of people how to crochet since the beginning of the year! Read more>>

The biggest trends I’m seeing in public relations is branching out into affiliate programs and social selling. Many digital publications require brands to be a part of an affiliate network like ShareASale to even be considered for coverage in impactful media, like holiday gift guides or top 10 lists. There are more commerce writers covering and reviewing brands on affiliate networks – you’ve probably seen these stories, like “These were the most comfortable shoes ever for visiting Disneyland.” Read more>>

A lot of ladies are choosing to wear and care for their natural hair these days where as before “protective styles” like lace fronts, wigs and closure pieces are slowly making an exit. Choosing a more natural looking extension install that closely resembles your natural hair is an extra boost of confidence because there is no worry about lace being exposed or lifting. This can cause embarrassment and uneasy questions from those that aren’t educated in the beauty industry. Read more>>

The entertainment industry is going through the biggest transformation we’ve seen since the transition from silent movies to talkies. Not unlike that era, technology is the driving force for the changes. Add to this the imbalance of corporate profits that encompasses many sectors, but with the entertainment industry taking center stage as to the tug of war between union workers and executives.

Speaking from someone who consumes a lot of Tiktoks/IG reels, I have been seeing a lot of contents revolving around filmmakers showing off fancy edits/transitions, whether its on content they shot themselves or an existing TV show and movies. The main focus is always on either how complicated or seamless the transitions are – a lot of content creators dedicate their posts to just transitions and tutorials on transitions. Read more>>

back in the day catering was not as fancy as it is today . sure every chef tried to showcase his work in one way or another but it was basic . now everyone is on social media which means that even before the guests have tasted the food the caterer is already judged by its looks Read more>>

I have witnessed several significant trends that are actively reshaping the way the public relations and media industry operate. The first trend worthhighlighting is the increasing prominence of editorial affiliate link programs. In a digital and social landscape saturated with content, publishers are increasingly adopting the practice of requiring product-based brands to offer affiliate commissions to secure editorial inclusion. This move aims to help struggling publishers compete and generate revenue in a highly competitive environment. Read more>>

The biggest trend in the retail industry is vintage. From resale clothing to true vintage to vintage home decor people are going crazy for this sustainable way of shopping. In 2011 I opened my store with a small selection of designer resale clothing pieces and vintage home decor. I started small collecting clothes from my mom, her friends and my friends and their moms.

Disruption of the traditional brick and mortar retail store shopping model isn’t new. However, surging online live sales platforms are gaining traction at unprecedented speed with significant stickiness in buyer loyalty, spend, and effectiveness. Read more>>

The animation changes very fast, it is very difficult to stay ahead of the curve. Every year the styles and fashions change. At some point the best thing was 3d animation, it went out of fashion and customers no longer wanted anything in that style, now they wanted 2d animation. Read more>>

Right now the fitness industry is seeing a major shift in the way we look at exercise. It’s moving away from solely focusing on physical appearance and putting its focus on the holistic benefits for both the mind and body. We’re recognizing exercise as a catalyst for self-growth and human performance. In the past we valued strength training primarily for its immediate visual results. Read more>>

The state of the market for the next couple years looks as though less and less first-time homebuyers are being priced out of the market by several factors: mortgage interest rates (which are holding back the sellers who bought or refinanced when the rates were at 2.5-3%; lack of inventory; competition with investors (especially corporations) who are buying block of single families to rent out, and in many cases back to the seller who may be in pre-foreclosure or short sale (this gives the seller, now tenant, a fistful of money, the avoidance of ruining their credit by foreclosure, and the embarrassment of having to move because of the aforementioned).

In the world of Human Resources, a traditional approach reigned supreme. Complex competency models and one-and-done efforts were the guiding stars in the realm of employee development. But change is stirring on the horizon. Read more>>

There has been more information created in the last 10 years than in the entire history of human kind up until then, a shocking thing to think about. Like so many other industries at the current moment in history, the underwater production and commercial photography industry is being turned on its head by technology and access. With the new GoPro shooting in 10 bit color, and with the ubiquity of incredible content on social media, it’s becoming more difficult than ever to create something original and unique in the underwater sphere.

As an Art Director and an action-sports athlete, there are many aesthetics within the action-sports industry that are influencing traditional Olympic sports marketing, to the latest fashion trends, and even my photography. One of my favorite trends is centered around motion, specifically the ability to create motion within a campaign. Whether this comes from visually engaging images or a people-focused, proactive approach to a campaign. Read more>>

Technology and marketing evolve at lightening speed. As I see Ai enter the creative parts of launching a product or brand the intangible feeling of personhood is fading away. The push to scale quickly overlooks the story behind the product or person. The most successful entities start by asking themselves, what fills a gap in my industry? Read more>>

While mathematical relationships underpin the arrangement of notes in music production, this is being amplified with the emergence of AI. Specifically, AI-powered tools are now being used in the music industry to recognize and create melodies and rhythms. Personally, the use of AI in music production is intriguing and exciting – it opens new vistas of inquiry into the creative process. However, there is a growing chorus of skepticism with respect to what this means for the creative integrity of musicians. Read more>>

Social Media has become the place to find and discover products and places to go. What many people don’t know about travel is that 86% of all travelers choose their next vacation on social media and then spend 10-20 hours of research on multiple websites to build a trip just presented to them. Social e-commerce has made millionaries out of influencers and content creators. “Shopifying” travel has yet to be done. Read more>>
