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 William Higham spent five years in PR before setting up Next Big Thing.
We’ve worked with PR agencies and in-house teams across multiple successful media campaigns for Amazon, HSBC, Interflora, Thomas Cook and others.
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
