Its founder, Jeremy Gutsche, relentlessly tracks and finds The Next Big Thing — that valuable but elusive commodity — for a global audience that generates millions of views a month. Gutsche is a creative, globe-roaming individual with a broad appeal that stretches from The Economist, which uses him as a source, to MTV, which places him at “the forefront of cool.”

With phenomenal speed, Gutsche has grown Trendhunter into a trusted showcase for “what’s next” in marketing, design, technology, and other categories. The site’s been featured or cited in over 40,000 articles, and Gutsche has appeared everywhere from Entertainment Tonight to the BBC. He’s also sought out by leading companies to speak on cool-hunting, innovation, marketing strategies, and The Next Big Thing and its relevance to their business. In bold, interactive keynotes, he delivers a blend of viral new trends, strategic frameworks, and a contagious enthusiasm for innovation. He possesses a unique perspective on innovation in the business context, and draws on his background in both corporate strategy and Web 2.0 to provide you with inspiration and tools to generate ideas, stimulate creativity and unlock potential.
