Carl Rohde’s Experience

• Professor Trendwatching

  Signs of the time

  (Privately Held; 201-500 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)

  January 1992 — Present (17 years 7 months)

  I lead Signs of the time, a virtual network of market and trend researchers worldwide. All 'employees' work on their own. We help them. They help us - in our cool hunters networks. In that sense they are independent employees. It works best and keeps everybody fit.

  University Utrecht

  (Research industry)

  January 1988 — November 2008 (20 years 11 months)

  My university is a great place because of so many new eager students every year. When I am enthusiastic, I make them enthusiastic, they make me enthusiastic, I make them etc. Besides that my university is a Jurassic Parc. Which is the reason why I set up Signs of the time: more sexy and adequate research, more lectures, more travel, more interesting cool people.
