About PSFK

Psfk_logoPSFK is an international trends-led publishing, events and consultancy business. We inspire our readers, our audiences and clients to make things better.

Most days, we do the following:

  • Publish idea websites, private intranets, trend reports.
  • Develop inspirational conferences and events.
  • Advise international clients to help them find new ideas for their businesses through the search and interpretation of cultural trends.

Each month, over 300,000 people from around the world read PSFK’s websites and newsletters for inspiration (details of advertising opportunities can be found here). We also run conferences where we bring the world’s most innovative creative minds together to discuss trends and creative business ideas. Since March 2007 we have run conferences in London, Los Angeles and New York. Our next conference is in San Francisco.

In response to the depth and breadth of content featured in our publications and at our events, we have been asked to provide companies with a range of trends led innovation consultancy services. Our clients are leading international brands including Anheuser Busch, Apple, BBC, BMW, CocaCola, MTV, Nestle and Samsung. More information about our consultancy can be found here.
