Resumo

Trends studies are giving their first steps in academia, after having proven themselves in the social and corporate field. Now it is important to develop scientific models for the application of trends studies, including their major tool and discipline: coolhunting. The creation of models in this disciplinary field allows for the creation of standards in the identification and continuous observation of trends, as well as in their application for the generation of innovation and decision making insights, regarding major mindsets and consumer behavior patterns. The objective of this paper is to analyse the existing tools and perspectives on coolhunting and trends studies.  This allows for the creation of a complex matrix, based on the Portuguese perspective and developments in this field, with several combined models that promote the study and the application of trends on branding, without overlooking cultural management.
