The pandemic changed everything, and your marketing strategies are likely to be in desperate need of redesign. But it’s not simply a matter of shifting budget away from boastful brand advertising to richer, more human storytelling.

You need to break down walls between marketing, digital, sales and CRM. You need to reshape teams and processes. And most of all, you need to embrace experimentation and build in resilience.
