At Scout, we employ trend analysis and incorporate our learnings into our campaigns. As a company that strives to give its clients the edge over their competitors, we are committed to investigating and taking advantage of the latest trends in the lifestyle, design, décor, hospitality, food and wine sectors.

Through research, analysis, networking and industry knowledge, we gauge what the current market trends are globally and in South Africa, and use that information to influence how a particular campaign is structured and where a particular brand should be directed. We also look to trend forecasting in order to move the brands we represent into the future.
