Today's Trends — Weekly BriefAug 17 report
🔥 RisingTrend of the Week

Miles Morales Trend (Ceiling Lip-Dub)

This week's Trend of the Week in our Aug 17 report. A participatory lip-dub: creators lip-sync the Spider-Verse origin monologue while jumping onto an off-camera stool and reaching one hand to the ceiling so they look stuck — a second person enters the frame acting shocked. The two biggest originals have passed 85–91M views since early August, and KYM added it as its newest tracked entry on Aug 13.

Brand Angle

Recreate the visual gag with original talent and your own audio: one team member 'stuck to the ceiling' one-handed, legs off-camera, a shocked teammate entering frame. $0 budget, half-day shoot — or the product-as-hero variant (a sneaker or backpack stuck to the ceiling).

Rights Check

Sony/Marvel IP: do NOT use Spider-Verse film audio, footage, or Spider-Man imagery — recreate the ceiling-stuck visual only. Entry window closes fast: the report expects saturation within 10–14 days.

Trend Health Index: RisingEntry window: ~10–14 days

A sample from this week's brief — subscribers get a fresh one every Monday.

How It Works

From signal to activation in four steps

01

We Scan

We scan trending content daily across TikTok & Instagram, tracking songs, memes, formats, and cultural signals as they emerge.

02

We Curate

We filter out the noise and surface only the top opportunities — the trends with real brand-activation potential.

03

You Activate

You get an actionable brief with specific activation ideas for your brand, so you can move fast while the window is open.

04

You Stay Safe

Every trend comes with IP and rights cautions so you never publish creative that lands your brand in trouble — plus a Trend Health Index showing whether it's Rising or Peaking.

A preview of what subscribers receive every week

KYM #2 • NEW • Image Macro

Director Christof / Truman Show

Polyester Edit

Intentionally cheap fancam edits. Zero production cost, maximum culture.

Built for brands that move at the speed of culture

Today's Trends is built for DTC brands and marketing teams targeting Gen Z & younger Millennials. If your audience lives on TikTok and Instagram, you need to be there — not with reactive, last-week content, but with timely, culturally-resonant creative that lands.

Your team spends hours doom-scrolling for trends. We do it for you, so you can focus on creating content that actually lands.

Move faster than your competitors

The trend window is 3–7 days. Our briefs give you the head start you need to publish before the moment passes.

“I built Today's Trends because my DTC clients were spending hours doom-scrolling for trends that closed before content got approved.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about how the weekly brief works

Scrolling gives you a feed of whatever's popular for you personally — not a curated, prioritized view of what's worth your brand's time or how to act on it. Every week we package the top trending songs, memes, formats, and cultural moments from primary sources into a single readable brief, with brand-ready activation ideas for each trend. Instead of maintaining your own listening team or doom-scrolling to piece it together, you get a curated, time-dated brief you can skim in minutes.
