Who is GDR Creative Intelligence?
We are a trend analysis and forecasting company.
Our services are retained exclusively by global consumer brands.
We provide insight into worldwide innovation across retail and hospitality, set within the context of emerging consumer trends.
We document our findings in a publication – the Global Innovation Report (GIR) – that is presented to all our clients and showcased at industry presentations. GIR is published quarterly in January, April, July and October.
Why should you work with GDR?
Creative matchmaking. We are your only completely free new business generator. Once we have featured your work and understand the capabilities of your agency we can recommend your work to senior representatives at brands looking for creative partners.
Cover design. Each quarter we like to highlight one individual agency we have worked with to create the cover design.
GDR charges no fees to agencies and designers for inclusion in the Global Innovation Report or creative matchmaking. Your client must always approve public release before submission.
“The GDR report is a designer's roadmap to leading edge design. Each issue fills me with envy, lust, pride and wrath.”

“At the Drapers Fashion Summit, October 2005 in London, speakers were rated from 1-4, with 1 as poor and 4 as excellent. GDR's scores were: Content: 3.4 and Presentation: 3.7”

“Seeing design excellence across diverse disciplines is invaluable. Whether it's creative, commercial or 'blue sky design' - we always find GDR’s presentation inspirational, thought provoking and commercially relevant to our ongoing design strategy.”
