Crisis, a hole in the market part 2

I want to show you trends and concepts resulting from the crisis. Because one of the biggest events of this time is of course the economic crisis. It affects the whole world in a certain way and therefore it is a societal trend, also known as a megatrend. This means it creates and affects consumer and market trends.

Resulting from the crisis two effects have occured: localisation and creativity. Because of the crisis more and more creative ideas are popping up to make the crisis more tolerable. We still want to satisfy our needs so we come up with the most creative concepts to be able to still live our lives in comfort and with fun. I’m going to show you some examples of products, initiatives, concepts tat underpin these consumer trends.

I named those two trends Local Sharification + Creative crisis. Of course the crisis led to a lot more trends, but I’m going to outline these two for you today. In this blog I'm going to show you some manifestations of the trend Creative Crisis.
