Having trouble viewing this email? Click Here

Greetings! This week's featured PRO Trend trumps the idea that brands need big budgets and elaborate marketing strategies to stand out. Embracing Ugly shows that consumers seek out products and services that deviate from today's status quo. Intentionally unattractive products allow consumers to stand out in a way they control -- the ultimate service a brand can provide today. I'm off to Warsaw, Poland for a keynote tomorrow, hope you enjoy this week's top trends! Enjoy! Jeremy Gutsche, Chief Trend Hunter (@jeremygutsche) P.S. If you're wanting to track me down, here's my innovation keynote schedule: Oct 3 - Warsaw Oct 8 - Houston Oct 9 - Palm Desert Oct 15 - Austin Oct 23 - Las Vegas Nov 10 - Orlando Nov 20 - Alliston Oct 1 - Atlantic City More details HERE.
