Label Networks’ Premium Global Youth Culture Subscription is among the most highly sought-after youth culture marketing intelligence + research program in the world. Why? As more brands are discovering, it is youth markets that are clearly at the top of the creative trend pyramid. They are the inherent trend-leaders pushing forward the speed of change in Technology, Fashion, Music, Sports, + Communication. The majority of trends are, in essence, a trickle-effect based on global youth culture, coming from the bottom-up—the streets, motivated by utilitarian means, and need for expression--rather than being dictated from the top-down. As more brands are discovering, increased consumer control has leveled the playing field and is changing the way companies need to do business. Our intelligence answers such vital new questions and inspires new thinking.
However, it also takes looking at things globally to know what’s really going on. As technology and communication patterns push boundaries across borders, trends move faster, and are influenced from other cultures. Brands today not only need to have research + intelligence about specific local and regional areas, but also from a global perspective in terms of future forecasting. And as more brands move towards becoming “lifestyle” brands, meaning positioning into a variety of different aspects of a person’s life and for a longer life-cycle, such youth culture research information is increasingly vital for future success.
Inside the Label Networks’ Premium Subscription are primary consumer research results derived from talking to thousands of young people across North America, Europe, Japan, and China, plus additional cities and cultural hotspots that emerge as trends changes throughout the course of a year. By reaching into the broadest and most diverse regions, our consumer research results are as authentic, fresh, and asstreet-level as possible. The research + intelligence not only gives in-depth information about specific topics effecting the youth culture landscape, but also provides the basis for feed-forwardideas such as where things are headed and why across cultures. This is one reason why even most intuitive insider brands, who base decisions primarily on instinct, also subscribe—to help push instinct forward.
