Consumer & Trend Insights
Understand what’s changing.
And why it matters.
We explore changing consumer behaviours, emerging trends and shifts in culture and markets — turning research and signals of change into insights that can inform strategy, innovation and brand development.
Consumer Insights • Trend Research • Foresight • Opportunity Mapping • Signature Studies
Knowing what is happening is not enough.
The real value of research lies in understanding what change means — for people, for your market and for your business.
FutureTribe combines consumer research, trend analysis and foresight to uncover emerging needs, behaviours and shifts. We connect the dots between signals, people and the wider forces shaping change to identify the insights that matter.
The result is not more data, but a clearer understanding of where opportunities may be emerging and what to do next.

Case: Signature Studie - Shopper Experience - A large-scale cross-generational retail study
While Head of Strategy at Republica, Bettine Ortmann designed and led a large-scale Shopper Experience Study with more than 1,000 consumers, exploring how people shop, search for information and what they value in the physical shopping experience.
Quantitative data was collected by Megafon and analysed across Baby Boomers, Generation X, Y and Z and across retail categories. The study also explored how consumers use digital channels and devices before and during physical shopping, and which experience dimensions matter most.
From research design and execution to analysis and communication, the study turned complex consumer data into actionable insights for the future of physical retail.
