If you’re contemplating a lot right now, you’re not alone. Reflective mood hits the UK. Late summer is a key moment for thinking of our future – it’s not a ‘pens and planners at the ready’ kind of thinking. More of a mulling, dreaming, playing. It could be work, relationships, home, life… whatever it is, we’ve had a taste of new ideas and are wondering what we could make happen. How do we know? We took the challenge to map the year, distil the mindsets and narratives to play to across the entire year. Want a piece of it?

Ta dah! The year Surprised about how early the build is and how early we peak? We were too. This tells a story of how important both momentum and anticipation are to humans. Momentum, when every time we turn around there’s newness – and anticipation, that there’s more to come You might think… seriously?! That’s your biggest challenge? It wasn’t. This launched ‘The Playbook’ - the most ambitious piece of work we’ve attempted. There’s heaps that sit behind this humble chart - we have the narratives to play to every week of the year. Sign up to our event to learn more. What do the colours refer to…? Join us on Thursday 12th September to find out https://lnkd.in/eXwCEjDw #playbook #insights #martketing #consumer #planner

Earning trust is the ultimate prize. It means: Challenging assumptions Championing real people Finding the right answers Finding new ways to understand and predict human behaviour and far more Alison Bainbridge delivers her view from the bridge; exactly why is she so proud of our AURA Insight Trusted Partner award? Take a look! #mrx Kokoro The Score
A week on from the AURAs I wanted to revisit my gratitude to all who made the night such a success. I've long been a champion for our industry, and have always said... it's harder than it looks! After many years working away, it really does feel wonderful to be recognised in this way. The AURAs mean so much to me and all of us at Kokoro because clients vote, the real test of our work. It feels so energising to win when up against such stellar competition. Thank you so much to AURA Insight for building such a vibrant community. And thanks to all of you for the trust and support you place in agencies. Huge thanks as always to all at AURA, and especially Ruth Hinton Steven Darby Tom Kerr Julia Joskey and of course, Suzanne Lugthart

This Thursday. 11.30am. Alison Bainbridge and Laura Gillespie share the four tools they use to smash out accurate predictions, year after year. Join us for a behind the scenes tour of the Christmas Predictions Report - because Christmas 2024 is not just like the ones we used to know (and who can afford to get it wrong?)
Think Christmas 2024 is going to be the same as Christmas 2023? Think again. Things have changed – and those changes mean make or break for brands. With Christmas questions starting to come thick and fast, join us for our Christmas Predictions Masterclass. We give you the four tools needed to make successful Christmas predictions. When: Thursday 18th July, 11.30 - 12.00 How: https://lnkd.in/eN-ybDcu From lockdowns to politics, the cost-of-living crisis to four previous Christmases, award-winners Alison Bainbridge and Laura Gillespie have successfully predicted what people will think, feel, and do. But how do they fulfil their mission to hit the mark? How do they turn ‘problems’ into ‘predictions’? How do they narrow down from huge data sets to impactful stories? Get behind the scenes and into their minds. Learn from the best. See you there. Hannah Rogers Tom Berry Natalie Geddes Yvette Allen
