Overview

As communities begin to rebuild, 2021 fast became the foundation for a new era of innovation.

In last year’s Innovation Debrief, we explored ways in which brands and citizens reacted to the Covid-19 pandemic through resilient and adaptive strategies. Now, as communities begin to rebuild, longer-term hybrid approaches to living, working, creating and learning are coming to the fore.

 

Bringing together some of the most impactful case studies from our trends intelligence platform, LS:N Global, this year’s Innovation Debrief looks at the most original examples of how brands are responding to changing consumer needs. In this report, you will uncover the 50 most boundary-pushing campaigns of the year to date, learn about creating equitable urban futures, and delve into the myriad ways that businesses are infiltrating the metaverse.


We have also included need-to-know statistics, insights from our in-house foresight experts, original thought-starters from our Futures 1000 network, and strategic implications t
hat will tangibly address how and why you can adopt these lessons.

What's inside the report?

This report presents innovative brand campaigns, inspiring and essential statistics across the following 10 themes:

: Symbiosis Brands

Brands and retailers are moving away from one-way transactions with their audiences, and inviting the public to take part in the creation of their products or to shape future output.

 

: Resource Redux

Across sectors, brands are adopting transformative solutions as a way to reduce their reliance on natural resources and their overall carbon output.

 

: Edible Awareness

 

As consumers become increasingly conscious of the planetary impact of their lifestyles, innovative solutions are emerging to support self-sufficient and more eco-conscious food futures.

 

: Equitable Urbanism

 

Future public spaces will centre around wellbeing, taking into account public safety concerns during the inter-Covid period and rebuilding to prioritise nature and community.

 

: Inclusive Care

 

Businesses are recognising that catering
for audiences’ wider needs can no longer be
an afterthought. Instead, intersectional design approaches are becoming a core part of brand strategies.

 

: Post-taboo Wellness

 

Health and wellness brands are daring to shout about once-taboo subjects as a way of alleviating concerns among their audiences.

 

: Expressive Identities

 

Brands are tapping into the unique identity traits of consumers to create products that are a more personal expression of themselves.

 

: Meta Living

Brands and consumers are finding their place in the metaverse, replicating real-world experiences and elevating them through escapist environments.

 

: Hybrid Employees

As remote operations became the norm for many global office workers, the past year has left companies in a state of flux.

 

: Upskilled Alphas

 

Beyond traditional classroom learning and parental advice, Generation Alpha are accessing alternative platforms to learn about the world they live in.
