COVID-19 has dramatically changed the way we communicate, interact and work with friends, family and colleagues. And there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. Employees continue to work remotely, shelter in place remains a priority and anxiety about the future holds steady.
Beyond our personal adjustment to the new normal, how has consumer behavior changed? How are customers and prospects perceiving brands during this time? And how should brands approach their marketing strategies? These are the questions our latest report aims to answer.
Protecting your brand reputation and retaining customers requires more than a gut feeling. It requires research and data. By understanding consumer sentiments, you can pivot your marketing efforts to provide meaningful insights for your audience. Don’t get caught inserting yourself into a conversation that your brand has no business being a part of. Instead, let data guide your messaging, content creation and digital strategy.
From where we get our news, to how we’re spending our time online, there’s been an undeniable shift. By taking a closer look at the data, we can see not only what these changes are, but also gain a deeper understanding of the landscape marketers are currently operating in.

- The biggest concerns people have

- How people are keeping up to date with news
