The ‘Meta Trending Trends’ for 2020
Medium Magazine have developed the top 11 overlapping cultural trends from 30 reports.
1.One’s and Zero’s Fuse:
Addressing the physical and virtual blur and understanding that online and offline are one; digital dualism is a fallacy.
2.Slowing Down:
Anxieties and screens pressure us to hit pause. Organisations should add mindful friction and offer alleviation before the need arises.
3.Purpose Over Profit:
Organisations need to look beyond bottom lines and to CSR. They need to be more responsible and effective…and do it now!
4.Privacy:
Organisations need to prioritise customer responsibility, data and emotions above all.
5.Entertainment:
Proliferating channels, content and gaming tests the industry’s architecture. Organisations should realise that content transcends platforms.
6.Civil Social Media:
New online dynamics hope to bridge not bruise us. Organisations need to be optimistic to minimise hate and empower the lives of like-minded people.
7.Humane:
Experiences are becoming more expedited and empathetic per customer. Organisations must revere each customer as an individual with stories and choice.
8.Turning Volume to 11:
Auditory experiences are getting louder as we look beyond the visual playing field.
9.Open Character Constructions:
Identity binaries break as we question the integrity of past personality patterns. Organisations should provide individuals tools to discover their identity.
10.Throwback Remixes:
We seek the pre-existing and reassuring in our styles, so organisations should watch out for style cycles and keep on track of trends.
11.Questionable Consumption:
Many will declare their values by not buying and will question the necessity of existing products.
