Brands and their marketing teams are having difficulty navigating the pandemic and finding a balance between their needs and business realities. It is important for organizations to stay agile, relevant, and ready to adapt as necessary. Pausing campaigns may cause long-term damage, so it is best to stay present and appropriate.
Staying connected through proven channels and relying on data are two effective ways to rise to the challenge. Companies should be present with meaningful messages and should use data responsibly. Providing real value without capitalizing on the pandemic is a must, as taking advantage of the crisis is the worst look for any brand.
People are consuming more media during this time, so brands should take this opportunity to offer help and utility. Those that are compassionate and able to react to changing results and conditions will fare the best.
