Trend Hunter Setting Trends on the Web

Jeremy Gutsche -
Trendspotter Extraordinaire
Character Profile
(Nuvo) The avatar of cool-hunting, the man who created the phenomenally successful website Trend Hunter (TrendHunter.com) is not here to make you cool. He’s here to make you money. Perched sideways on a chair at Vancouver’s Terminal City Club, Gutsche looks like a solid advertisement for a lot of things—hairstyling products, fitness equipment, and whatever energy drink might make a man so irrepressibly perky even after an afternoon spent fielding questions from insurance company marketers.

Getting information on
tomorrow’s trends today
(The Sun) Not surprisingly Jeremy Gutsche, founder of Toronto-based online Trend Hunter Magazine, is always on the lookout for something new.
Trend Hunter was born while the 29-year-old was still earning his MBA. He later launched it as a place to find new ideas and interact with people of a similar mindset.
“I’ve always been insatiably curious, entrepreneurial and probably have a short-attention span,” he says. “What that means is, I was always looking for my next big business opportunity or a new idea.”

Can you say "Jeremy Gutsche" without breaking out in goose bumps? I think not. His opening keynote address this morning wowed even me - the woman who hired and helped prep him for his keynote. I should have been better prepared for how awesome he would be. You could feel the energy in the room, even digitally, through the virtual live stream of the session. The Twitter feeds lit up like I've never seen before at MPI. His messages of innovation and exploiting chaos were on target and he did a phenomenal job of engaging our audience, tying his messages into relevant information for our industry.
"Jeremy was such a hit! I almost had to put a bag over his head so people would stop interrupting our walk to the main building after his presentation. You would have thought he was a major celebrity... Everyone was very impressed! Very professional individual who has a lot going for him!" MPI's Kristen Kouk.
