With 1,000,000 Facebook fans, over 500,000,000 views and numerous awards won in innovation, Trend Hunter is truly a Canadian success story. Our Chief Trend Hunter Jeremy Gutsche spoke with SUN TV about the future of Canadian trends and how they will affect business and pop culture on a global scale yesterday for Canada day.
Gutsche discussed such short-term and long-term trends as ecopolitan development, gamification of life and sci-fi interiors, which can be seen in the open-concept office space that Trend Hunter itself boasts, complete with a digital scoreboard and Atari-themed wall decals. Essentially, all of these pop cultural patterns, like Trend Hunter itself, are rooted in Canada, yet have the ability to influence innovation everywhere from London to the Philippines.
