Future markets consultancy
Introduction
Future markets consultancy regroups 1WR trend research specialists and selected transversal competencies from social and cultural fields

Through trend related research, a gap needs to be crossed to achieve an enlarged scope for innovation. This gap is not exclusively technological but more and more social and cultural. This gap can be summarized by more demanding consumer aspirations seeking appeal and core values such as more responsible, participatory, personalized or identifiable approaches to offerings.

Media products that will inspect such dimensions will have chances of become leaders of tomorrow. Offering such innovations  may path the way to concrete results such as audience, market shares and profits but also intangible goodwill from media intermediaries, content providers, personnel and the public at large.
Objectives and means
1WR objectives are to help you create socially and culturally innovative products and leverage these

Showcase: Future markets creation example
Based upon TrendSetters findings
Using findings from a TrendSetters study, "opinion leader" interviews in social and cultural fields indicated "Global identity", "Searching for the unknown" and "The Anti-Trend" directions that can be used to illustrate a future markets creation example.
Although client interaction is necessary, let's assume that we are commissioned to help a media client diversify to reach new audiences.
Example
The global identity direction could lead us initially to:
  • quickly measure international interests and their nature in selected markets among broad "Searching for the unknown" and "Anti-Trend" paths
  • select core "embryonic consumers" and "opinion leaders" to develop more concrete proposals
  • evaluate multiple proposals, especially in terms of appeal and "up take" by targeted and specially built "early adopters" panel in selected markets
  • select winning proposals to develop pilot versions with help of qualitative techniques among "early adopters", "embryonic consumers" and "opinion leaders"
  • produce prototypes for optimization
  • market testing
