Helping large retailers innovate & implement world-leading, profitable retail ecosystems.
What we do
Insider Trends is a true end-to-end retail futures consultancy. For more than 12 years, we’ve been delivering meaningful, original, no-nonsense insights, all backed by solid data.
We have worked with c-level executives from many of the world’s biggest brands, delivering retail safaris, presentations, keynotes and workshops all over the world alongside expert-led retail consultancy.
The company is led by Cate Trotter, who has been named one of the world’s most influential people in retail.
Insider Trends brought us insight into the latest retail trends, both online and offline. The JWT team of planners, ranging from very senior to quite young, found the session inspiring, interesting and useful. Its breadth and expertise made it well worth the time and the fees. I’d highly recommend it to anyone to whom the retail environment is relevant.

My business group has one big retreat per year where we explore the history, economy, politics and banking systems of a country or location. Insider Trends made it easy for us to connect and plug in to what was happening and who was making it happen.

We came to find inspiration for our new major project. We needed to see the best of what’s happening in the world, but we had no time to go on a world tour. London’s a global city – you’ve showed us the best of what’s happening worldwide in a few hours. It’s been great.

Clarity, insight
& inspiration –
all in an hour or less
Our ‘fat free’ trend presentations normally contain 4-8 of the most important upcoming retail trends, all supported by solid, recent data. We’ll then show how businesses are taking advantage of these trends, helping you understand the myriad of ways the retail trends can be applied.
Thank you so much for your presentation yesterday. The whole team commented on how insightful it was. There was a great deal to take away!

Retail safaris &
retail trend tours
Be first to discover
what’s next…
Our team of trendspotters will save you time, pinpointing the latest, most innovative spaces that you might otherwise miss. They’ll share insights gained through a raft of personal interviews, giving you information you won’t find online or in reports.
And they’ll guide you through your new city – leaving you to focus on what you’ve seen, rather than how to get to the next venue. The length, theme and itinerary of your trend tour will be created just for you and your team. Meetings with the most innovative professionals in retail can often be added, pushing your understanding of what’s coming next even further into the future.
I’ve been on safaris with McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group. The Insider Trends safari was better. The introductory presentation was packed with ideas and new concepts too.”
