Innovation Springboard

Insider Trends' Innovation Springboard is a two-day experience to help retailers innovate and stand out. By the end of the process, you and your team will have found groundbreaking yet appropriate ways in which your brand can engage, inspire and strengthen relationships with customers.

Previous clients include:

Innovation Springboard is created and led by Insider Trends' marketing experts who know the cities like the backs of their hands. We'll take you straight to the shops, spaces and structures most relevant to your business and challenges, letting you experience their innovation first-hand. If you choose to, we can help you forge partnerships with many of the businesses you'll find out about.


The Innovation Springboard is a two-day experience:

• Day Two - a workshop that takes the stimulus from Day One and transforms the learnings into concepts that can revitalise your business, planned and led by our leading marketing strategy consultants
• 10 days after the experience, you'll also receive an attractive slide presentation, to:
  • Document your experience, what you saw, learnt, and the ideas you generated
  • Remind you of the places you visited and their key innovations
  • Extend your learning further with relevant innovations from around the world

Innovation Springboard primarily takes place in London. Tokyo and New York experiences can also be arranged.

The examples you'll see on our trend tours will be relevant to you, no matter where in the world your business functions. Our tours exclusively operate in world-leading, creative cities, meaning they're not simply the most exciting concepts in their region but on the planet. By showing you some of the most financially successful, engaging and creative business initiatives in the world, we can show you new ways to tackle your business challenges, whatever they may be.

Some businesses tighten their belts in times of recession, but it is in times of recession that it is most important to make the right decision the first time round. In a time when competitors are cutting back, you can gain advantage by investing in a innovative, strategic insight to understand how best your business can adapt. The strategies that you generate do not have to be costly to implement.

Innovation Springboard provides your key decision makers with the stimulus and process they need to approach your company's challenges and opportunities with a fresh perspective. Creative thinking is also stimulated by a complete change in surroundings, input from our marketing strategists and dedicated time to working together to discuss new strategies. It provides you with a foundation to go into your next year of trading with a fresh perspective on your aims.
