The COVID-19 storm has torn through the world, leaving a different landscape for marketers to pick their way through. Things that were once relevant have been tossed aside, and new things have taken their place. While change is still underway, it is certain that things will never be quite the way they were before. Businesses will need to take into account the new world attitudes. Take a look at the following trends from the Forbes Business Council:
RENEWED EMPHASIS ON DIGITAL
Technology and digital allowed us to stay connected, even while social distancing.
PROTECTION & PREVENTION
People will be extra cautious going forward, even when they return to work. Take extra care with your operations and interactions.
THINKING AHEAD

REMOTE OPTIONS
The work-from-home trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, as many companies go completely remote or consider a hybrid model.
DIGITAL COMMUNICATION
Zoom and Skype will continue to be options for meetings and gatherings.
READY FOR CHANGE
