The situation generated by the Covid crisis has meant that many companies have had to reinvent themselves. But, do we understand reinventing as positive or negative? Both digital entrepreneurs and companies have had to turn their business around in order to move forward, there are those who have succeeded and there are those who unfortunately have not. The sum of technology and diversification has been the best way to ensure not only survival, but to know how to reorient the company, when before Covid, success was guaranteed.
As we already know, some companies have decided to invest less in marketing and digital, because they needed to promote other aspects or activities of the business, and others have decided to take the leap and bet on it. For us, as a consultancy and digital marketing agency, we believe that investing in marketing and digital presence, is synonymous with investing in the present and especially in the future.
But why? Because Marketing generates visibility for companies in a thousand ways, either through social networks, or through SEM campaigns, organic positioning, etc,
Returning to the concept of reinventing oneself, here is a clear example of what it means to turn the business around and move in other directions. For example, alcoholic beverage manufacturers have started to produce sanitary alcohol, fashion brands have started to sell fabric masks and even large automotive multinationals have started to produce respirators. Not bad, right?
The key, after all, is to be flexible, adapt quickly to changes, look for solutions to problems and above all… don’t get left behind.
How are we seeing some changes in digital marketing in the face of the Pandemic?
- Some small neighborhood stores have decided to join the online world and give it a try. Even if it’s just a social media presence, it’s a big step!
- Social networks have become the new star paradigm. Not only for users, where their use has been significantly boosted, but also for brands who have realized that the use of these platforms is their best showcase and one of the fastest ways to communicate anything.
