Whilst there is a wealth of trend books for marketers, there was a real lack of help on the practicalities of trend-spotting, until now. Higham covers everything from the definition of a trend (often misinterpreted by many an advertiser or agency executive), to how to identify them and most importantly, how to apply them. The book is peppered with tons of examples from big brands, quotes and pointers from top brands and their agencies. What I like about this essential guide is that it is well organised and easy to read, which would give it appeal to students and senior marketing executives alike.
