Session: Reimagining Marketing in the Pandemic
Some brands have thrived during these extraordinary two years of the pandemic and others haven’t. Some businesses have been able to reinvest in product streams already in play due as a result of the pandemic need but others have notably grown market share because of specific pivots in channel marketing and branding strategies and meeting customers where they are. I call this a flex marketing mindset. This session will dive deep in what best practices and lessons we can learn from the likes of Zoom, Peloton, Adobe and others and the specific skills that marketing leaders will need for the US domestic market and globally in this time of flux.
