Skip to minute 14:50 to hear Brad discuss the biggest mistake that companies can make regarding their digital evolution:

 

 

“Brands need to be really concerned about how our value system is shifting during the course of this pandemic. And we don’t believe that it’s going to revert back to normal. We actually think these are all going to be real meaningful things that you’ve got to think about. So I guess when you say, “What are the pitfalls?” Thinking that we’re going to get back to normal, thinking that there’s this new normal that we’re going to get to, well, maybe new normal is the right way to call it. But we’re not going to see 2019 again. Everything has fundamentally changed, and trying to be thoughtful about how to embrace that change and lean into it. I think it’s where brands need to really focus.”
