Friday May 2, 10.00 - 13.00
Godsbanen - Perron 2

- a crash course in understanding, unpacking and applying consumer trends.

At this workshop, Henry Mason and David Mattin from trendwatching.com will explore the EPHEMERAL mega-trend. This looks at how consumers’ perceptions of time is changing, and how ‘time’ is evolving as an axis of innovation in 2014. They will unpack how attention spans that are approaching zero are converging with an online space that is weaving itself through all aspects of lived experience, destabilising ideas of permanence and transience, memory and forgetting.

The takeaway? Participants will come to understand consumers’ new time frames, and how to cater both to those who revel in the new possibilities created by transient and fleeting forms of digital communication, and to those who seek to build digital time capsules in order to record, store and reflect upon their experiences.

Let consumer trends supercharge your campaigns, innovations and digital creations – today!

 

For whom

Digital content creators, people within advertising, communication and marketing, brand managers, innovation managers, developers and everybody interested in how you design and develop interactive media experiences and reach new audiences.
