The Trend Report™ is a weekly newsletter that is part essay, part culture analysis, and part whatever the universe offers us. I watch the internet so you can spend more time offline 🌱
Who writes The Trend Report™?
🐣 Kyle Raymond Fitzpatrick! I’m an American writer based in Barcelona, Spain and Los Angeles, California (if and when I’m stateside). I started The Trend Report™ as I’ve always tracked trends for work and because I have a knack for following the storylines of culture.
📝 My journalism has appeared in outlets like Playboy, PBS, Popsugar, Cool Hunting, and more. I founded the art and culture website Los Angeles, I’m Yours too.
🛜 For years, I worked as a television producer in news and digital culture along with work as a copywriter for brands like YouTube, Google, Logitech, Robinhood, and more. Catch my portfolio here.
👥 I’m always looking for collaborate, largely to help get my writing into more venues. Journalism or contributing to other outlets: always down for. Copywriting? Potentially! Regardless, if you’d like to collaborate, you can always send me an email here here.
📚 I have a drafted novel that is ready being sent around to publishers and was a 2022 Lambda Literary Fellow. You can find a selection of my writings here. I’m repped by Amanda Orozco at Transatlantic.
💸 Don’t want to get a paid subscription but want to give a tip? Do so here.
👀 Looking for more ways to keep abreast of the trends? I run another newsletter called The Trend Report™: Business Edition (aka: TR.BIZ), which offers a daily recap of the day’s online trends. It’s sent out Monday through Fridays at 8AM PST.
💡 The idea for this newsletter is to be your business’ newsroom, to essentially get a pitch of the top and trending stories of the day right to your inbox. Having worked in news, as a journalist, and in television, I know what a daily rundown and newswire looks like: this intends to help do the work of combing the news, with the intention of connecting with a Gen Z and or Millennial audience. You can sample a few recent TR.BIZ dispatches here, here, and here.
⚠️ Interested in getting this newsletter? It’s technically private, as the fee is a bit steep. If you’re interested in this service, send me an email here and we can figure something out. If you’re looking for a lighter, weekly version of this, grab a paid subscription of the regular Trend Report™ as a Friday recap offers a brief review of the week’s trends.
