Since 2007 Maren supports Neogarde as a trend researcher. The qualified cultural scientist worked as a cultural manager at the Cologne comedy festival and was responsible for public relations, booking and production management at the Schmidt’s Tivoli theater in Hamburg before she joined Neogarde. Her intellectual curiosity and her openness to a most diverse range of subjects predestinate her for the work as a trend researcher.

As a painter she composes colours to a perfect picture in the same way like she combines the diverse trend information to a meaningful story. In doing so she always stays immune against short-term drifts and keeps an eye on the bigger context.
