Robbie Hodges

Senior Trend Analyst

Robbie’s career in cultural trends began during his early media career. He started as a staff writer at The Telegraph, reporting on shifts in travel and lifestyle, before becoming Assistant Digital Editor at SUITCASE Magazine. His work has also appeared in The Times, Condé Nast Traveller, and other leading titles, with a focus on the people, places and ideas shaping contemporary culture.

Now a Senior Trend Analyst at TrendWatching, Robbie delivers high-impact keynotes, facilitates strategic workshops, and leads webinars for global clients that include Mastercard, Marriott, and Royal Bank of Canada. In parallel, he serves as Strategy Lead at Globetrender — the UK’s leading travel trend forecasting agency — where he taps into real-time shifts in travel behavior and industry innovation.

From investigating snail farms in the Amazon to exploring sustainable tourism initiatives in Sweden, Robbie’s trend insights are underpinned by on-the-ground reporting and a deeply global perspective.
