PREDICTIONSMARKETING, TECH, POP CULTURE
& EVERYTHING IN-BETWEEN
2016 TREND
PREDICTIONS/TRENDS/LOLS
We’ve taken another light-hearted look
at what we think the zeitgeist of 2016
will be from a tech/digital angle.
HOT OR NOT
Diversity
VR Gold Rush
Emoji Billboards
R-Rated Comic Book Movies
Ad Blocking
Messenger Based Utilities
Professional Drone Racing
Burgers
● Twitter
● VR Headaches
● #Hipsters
● Failed Kickstarters
● 8K TVs
● Election Fatigue
● Boring Vloggers
● Digital Panhandling
OK, HOW’D WE DO LAST YEAR?
Mmmm so not a great strike rate but the predictions are about what COULD be vs what WILL be.
The social photographer for your holidays and the big moves in battery tech are probably where we called outside of anyone else.
2015 Prediction Correct Kinda Nope
Social Super Agent X
Peak Hashtag X
Native Advertising X
Instagram’s Moment X
Narcissism Ruins Holidays X
Short Headlines X
Cost per LOL X
2015 Prediction Correct Kinda Nope
Sweens X
Batteries New Battlefield X
Sportstars IPO X
VR Drugs X
E Ink in Fashion X
Tinder Everything X
Food Science X
Brands & Games X
BILLIONAIRE GENIUS PHILANTHROPIST
PLAYBOYS ASSEMBLE!
Inspired by Tony Stark, the world's ultimate
tech heroes, led by Elon Musk & Mark
Zuckerberg, unite to donate their time and
fortunes to the needy, and battle poverty,
hunger and injustice around the globe.
LEO FINALLY WINS A (CHINESE) OSCAR
China eclipses America as the world's biggest
movie market. Every blockbuster is released in
both Western and Chinese versions… and Leo
finally gets to wear his man-bun all the way to
awards glory.
ATTENTION SPAN REHABILITATION
With their attention spans and
concentration skills shattered by ever
shorter social videos, ASR becomes the
new AA for troubled youth.
INSTANONYMOUS
Led by revolutionary Essena O'Neill, a
generation of lifestyle bloggers revolt
against the epic emptiness of social media
to become the new force for truth in
an unjust digital world.
PEAK EMOJI
Every brand from K-Mart to
Balenciaga demands its own emoji.
While some like Deadpool will use the
power.
North West's latest baby brother is
simply named as a compass emoji.
The world
THE NEW CAA
Top Hollywood talent firm Creative Artists
Agency (CAA) rebrands as Creative Animals
Agency, as Grumpy Cat, Menswear Dog, Toast
and Choupette replace movie stars as the most
in-demand divas in the world.
THE LIVESTREAMED ELECTIONS
In the 2016 US Presidential election, the leader
of the free world is ultimately decided by the
candidates' ability to master Periscope,
Meerkat, Twitch, Vine & whatever Facebook
launches.
Depressingly, this gives Donald Trump the edge.
VR GOLDRUSH
VR finally takes off & agencies scramble to jump
on the gold rush.
It's also a dangerous time to be an early
adopter, as we start to see the first
VR-related casualties.
PERSONAL TRAGEDY
PROFILE FILTERS
The trend for social media mourning becomes
so prevalent that Facebook announces Personal
Tragedy Profile Filters.
So now you can mourn everything, from the
passing of your hamster to your favourite
flavour of Tim Tams being discontinued.
THE DARK WEB GOES LEGIT
From consumers tired of being surveilled 24/7
by the NSA, to movie studios terrified of
becoming North Korea's next hack target,
everyone moves onto The Dark Web for
privacy.
Illegal activity moves to another, even darker
layer of the internet...
BLACK OPS AGENCIES
The rise of The Dark Web coincides with the
birth of a new breed of digital agency, who
specialise in covertly attacking their clients'
competitor brands.
Rupert Murdoch denies all knowledge
of their existence.
BLOCKING THE AD BLOCKERS
Media agencies, publishers and global tech
giants, their revenue seriously threatened by
ad blocking, fight back with new ad blocker-
blocking technology.
The ad-blocking war escalates as ad-blocking
extends to non-digital media.
THE DEATH OF CAR CULTURE
Google, Tesla & Uber collectively lobby against the
#1 cause of traffic congestion, car accidents and
road fatalities: humans.
These companies’ robotics begin to show their
superiority behind the wheel, spelling the
beginning of the end for car culture as we know it.
CRACKDOWN ON DRONES AND
HOVERBOARDS
Drones & hoverboards become
ubiquitous - but even though the general
public hurt themselves daily, it's not until
the world's drug cartels embrace this
technology that the authorities decide to
crack down.
INSTA-TV
Instagram follows Netflix & Amazon into
content production.
The channel finds it tough to create its own
Game Of Thrones or House Of Cards, but
'Belfie Tips With Kylie Jenner' swiftly
becomes the most watched program in the
world.
WHAT’S MY IN-MESSENGER
STRATEGY?
Validating Facebook's US$21B purchase of
WhatsApp, brands everywhere start asking
for an in-messenger strategy.
From ordering food & movie tickets to paying
parking fines, everything is done through
messenger apps.
