Here’s how those trends fared a year later … read them at http://bit.ly/15trends TREND 2011 … A YEAR LATERTREND 1. Likeonomics A This continues to be a big trend, and I signed a deal to write a book on the topic coming out in May 2012! 2. Approachable Celebrity B More celebs use social media, but high profile hiccups (Ashton Kutcher), led to muted celeb excitement. 3. Desperate Simplification A People continue to long for more simplicity in everything from consumer products to choices for healthcare. 4. Essential Integration A The most successful campaigns like Amex’s Small Biz Saturday use deep integration across channels. 5. Rise Of Curation A Curation is still a hot topic, as more brands invest in creating their own media instead of only buying ads. 6. Visualized Data A Data visualization is even more popular as a way to make complex research come to life and be understood. 7. Crowdsourced Innovation C Crowdsourcing as a model may have hit a peak, and glut of “share your idea” sites led to some fatigue. Customer service and instant PR over social media tools is growing in popularity. I spoke at a conference 8.

Brutal Transparency B Companies are still seeing the benefit of this transparency, but there were relatively few other big stories. 14. Addictive Randomness C Randomness was a great concept, but I didn’t see this take off in 2011 as a guiding principle for campaigns. 15. Culting Of Retail A Coming off another frenzied Black Friday, retail shopping is now more of a cult than ever.
