A collections of signals can point you to new behaviors and therefore new needs and opportunities because actions speak louder than words and because consumers will give hints as to what they are missing, what they need and what they want. You just need to look, spot the patterns and identify the opportunities. “When we listen only to our own noise, we miss the signals that culture is sending us”.Thursday, October 20, 11

Cultural insight into women and the implications for brand and business: example of one trendThursday, October 20, 11
Women have stopped seeking equality in every sense and have started to enjoy and to a
large extend exploit their femininity and sexuality. Feminine charms and beauty itself
carry signi$cant social and oen economic clout and a shi towards what may seem as
cliche de$nitions of womanhood can be seen a rational way to seek advantages in a
world that clearly has not been able to place women on an equal footing with men.
Woman are still seeking equal opportunity or sometimes changing the rules of the game
in order to de$ne and capitalize on new opportunities, yet if we did not win the equality
$ght, on some level we want some of the old perks of ‘being a girl’ back.
