The Guardian: Monika Pick, Senior Commercial Insight Manager & Andy Cross, Commercial Insight Manager present Shift Happens 2024
2024 has seen a lot of shifts. Half the planet heading to the polls. A zombie internet filling with slop. Culture moving at breakneck memespeed. Swiftonomics, brat summer, Banksy’s London Zoo ...how on earth do you make sense of the year so far?
Luckily, the Guardian Advertising team has done it for you with our brand new trends report, Shift Happens 2024. This major piece of research documents the shifts in how we’re living our lives, how we’re finding light in shade, and what new things we’re trying to help us feel good about life.

Denise Turner, CEO, Route
An innovative outdoor study from 1946 (the Fort Wayne Survey) recently uncovered in the Route offices serves as a fascinating time capsule showing that market demands and the desire to innovate are remarkably familiar features – 78 years on. This paper will take the audience into the Route TARDIS for a trip to Indiana 1946, to 1950’s London, and finally to London in 1995, worlds that are not as different as we might expect. We will reveal what has changed and what has stayed the same. We will challenge, provoke but also reassure. Spoiler alert – many of the objectives of the Fort Wayne survey in 1946 could easily be found in any research or measurement project in 2024.
Magenta Research and Ofcom: Nas Allmomen, Associate Director and DE&I Lead, Magenta Research & Emily Conway, Senior Research Manager, Ofcom will present a paper on how to conduct better practice research with disabled people and people with long-term health conditions.
‘If you’re not proactively including disabled people, you’re proactively excluding them.’
We’ve gained so much insight and have created a series of guidelines that have the potential to really shake up the market research industry and pave the way for more inclusive practices. In our session, we’ll be giving you some tips and tricks on how to be more inclusive at all stages of the research process.
