These changes are spotted through macro trends. We asses them in what we eat, where we live and how we connect with each other. And whether we’re aware of it or not, they dictate the products consumers want and the services they crave. Connecting the various trends among future macro trends is a key skill to master to spot your brand's next growth opportunity.
