We find new trends for PRs to use in media campaigns

In today’s blink-and-you-miss-it media world, Comms campaigns that align themselves with a unique new trend are likely to achieve greater cut-through.

At Next Big Thing, we specialise in identifying future trends for Comms campaigns. We’re one of the few trends consultancies to do so. Our founder began his career in PR – and we’ve worked for years with Comms agencies and in-house teams across a range of successful media campaigns, with brands from Amazon to HSBC, Interflora to Thomas Cook. 

As future trend experts, we’ve been able to assist campaigns in several ways:

  • identifying and workshopping a new trend for a specific brand/client
  • authoring a media-friendly report exploring that trend
  • running brand new primary research to support the trend
  • acting as spokesperson for the PR campaign around that trend

Case study: Amazon

Case study: Amazon

Innovation is at the heart of consumer, business and financial confidence for B2C technology companies like Amazon. So when it revealed its new ‘Shop the Future’ platform, it was critical to gain credibility across the world’s media platforms.

We helped create a futures report exciting and robust enough to help Amazon cut through a noisy media landscape and generate major coverage:

  • Coverage in every UK national newspaper and major radio station

  • Global coverage: Forbes, NBC, RTL Netherlands to Sputnik Radio Russia

  • Amazon asked Will to co-author ‘Shop The Future’ the next year too

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Next Big Thing. They provided great thought-provoking insights. We’d definitely work with them again and would recommend them to anyone.” Letitia Thomas, Campaign Director, Mission | PR for Amazon
