From funny and entertaining to informative and insightful, here's how brands are talking to us during the COVID - 19 crisis.
Our world is no longer the same. Over 15,000 people have lost their lives, economies are on the verge of being shattered, and countries have gone into lockdown. COVID - 19 is a health crisis unlike we've ever encountered.
And during this time, we have taken refuge on the internet from the comfort of our homes. From streaming movies and TV shows to catch up on news and sharing memes, we are all online.
So are the brands who too have borne the brunt on the virus. They’re online and communicating with us about the situation. From spreading awareness about the virus and precautions to take to giving us a good laugh and reminding us that we’re in this together, brands are mindful of the need for the right communication during a crisis.
