Marita Wesely-Clough, trends/futurist expert at Hallmark Cards, Inc., monitors the social milieu to spot trends as they emerge and track existing trends as they climb, peak and wane. She synthesizes her observations, expertise and experience to evaluate the strength and importance of cultural movement.
Wesely-Clough reads virtually every new book and article on social change. Then she tries to refute it or take it to the next level in her own mind. She visits leading metropolitan areas for hands-on research and scrutinizes language, dress, color preferences, and media to add to her repertoire of filters.
American Demographics designated Wesely-Clough as one of the top five trendspotters/futurists in the nation.
Wesely-Clough’s trend predictions recently have been featured in The New York Times, as well as The Business Journal of Kansas City, and she has been quoted in American Demographics, USA Today, Fortune, US News & World Report, and Time.
Curious by nature and with a degree in fine arts and emphasis on philosophy, Wesely-Clough began her career at Hallmark as a line designer and did stints as a lettering artist (where she created an alphabet font called “Marita” for a new card line), in design studio management, and in the Creative Advisory Group.
