Method

How Trends arise

Not every new buzzword becomes a media trend. FirstSignals therefore assesses a topic’s relevance potential based on influential contributions from global leading media. The quality and extent of coverage are decisive. This way, we already recognized the trend potential of generative AI in 2021 – today a top media topic.

  1. 1

    Media Diversity becomes Topic Knowledge

    Our analysts identify new buzzwords daily from business, politics, and technology – through targeted research in 50 leading German and English-language media as well as leading online media.

  2. 2

    Monitoring Topic Development

    Specialized crawlers measure how far and how fast identified buzzwords spread – and continuously track the development of a topic.

  3. 3

    Understanding and Evaluating Trends

    Our experts analyze and contextualize trends and evaluate their impact on your company or industry.

Formats

Fit for the future with trend analysis

We make future topics accessible for you – in custom studies tailored to your needs, as a speaker at your event, or in the workshop format. Feel free to contact us!

In our industry-oriented custom studies, we identify emerging buzzwords from your company's topic areas and classify them according to their relevance and trend potential. We also observe how your identified future topic gradually grows and whether it develops into a media-present future trend.
