Sample Topics

Unlocking Cool (Innovation) - The Power of Customer Focused Innovation

One of the world's most favorited presentations at SlideShare.net, Unlocking Cool is a beginning-to-end exploration of how to leverage viral trends and methodical innovation to generate breakthrough ideas. The presentation is visually engaging, packed with vivid examples, multimedia and audience participation. Jeremy begins with importance of culture and customer obsession. He then enthralls the audience with captivating micro-trends, providing a toolkit to filter ideas down to 'clusters of inspiration'. Finally, he teaches the audience how to articulate their messages for viral infection. Tech Point called the presentation, "The Perfect Kick-Off." Canada eConnect noted, "Jeremy was the highest rated speaker," and the Editor-in-Chief of Hospitality Design noted, “Jeremy was very well received for his humor, acuity and awareness. Spot on. Highly recommended.” [More]

Exploiting Chaos (Strategy) - How to Spark Innovation During Times of Change

(Based on the award-winning book, Exploiting Chaos) Micro-trends and viral innovations surround us. But if you layer on our customers, competitors and corporate strategies, it becomes difficult to focus. Inspiration has become distracting. So how do we make sense of all the noise? Whether you’re an entrepreneur, artist, bureaucrat or marketer, your goal probably involves creating something that ‘connects’ with other human beings. In the pursuit of something that ‘connects’, your creativity is probably hindered by organizational structure, uncertainty and unexploited opportunities. This keynote is not about traditional strategy. This keynote is about cutting edge frameworks and powerful ideas that will empower your organization to exploit chaos. [More]

Creating a Cultural Connection - How to Make Your Brand Matter

Creating a culture connection with your consumer is the most powerful way to elevate your brand into iconic status.... but, it requires a new way of thinking and cutting edge tactics for deeply identifying how to speak 'with' your customer, not 'to' your customer. It requires a level of authenticity and depth that can only happen if customer obsession is deeply rooted in your firm's culture. Accordingly, it becomes one of the most imperative parts of Jeremy's Culture of Innovation framework. The framework exposes your organization to ground-breaking ideas related to perspective, customer obsession, tolerance for failure and creativity. In these categories, he provides examples that prove you can't just check the box, you have to be revolutionary. The presentation provides a toolkit of ideas and examples of how leading innovators are changing the game to cultivate breakthrough organizations. [More]

2012 Trends - How to Filter Through Noise and Unlock Opportunity

You probably have many great ideas and important strategic initiatives, but how do you filter through all the noise to unlock true opportunity? In this keynote, Jeremy walks through cutting edge strategies for TREND HUNTING. Jeremy's expertise here stems from several years of management consulting, running innovation teams, and of course, TREND HUNTER PRO. At Trend Hunter PRO, Jeremy's team filters through the most viral innovations to identify meaningful patterns that really matter. These patterns are sold to leading marketers and innovators around the world. The content has been sourced by the Economist, Financial Times, Guardian, CBC, and dozens of leading newspapers. Clients include cutting edge companies like Microsoft, Yahoo and eBay. [More]

Infectious Marketing - How to Make Your Ideas Viral

With over 30,000,000 monthly views and 1,500,000 Facebook Fans, Jeremy Gutsche's TrendHunter.com dominates the world of social media and viral marketing. In this presentation, Jeremy uses viral videos, vivid examples and the cutting edge of online marketing to captivate his audience. Then he goes beyond the buzzwords of web 2.0, Facebook, and social marketing to reveal the core elements that make viral messages so infectious. These lessons have profound offline implications, from enhancing customer relationships to giving teams a sense of meaning and alignment. Most importantly, he leaves his audience with his #1 Rule, "Relentlessly obsess about your story." [More]
