Podcast: The future of branding during and post pandemic 

All of us are going through unprecedented transformations; the way we communicate, the way we shop and connect with others have changed. And even when we are longing for life to go back to normal, most likely, many things will not go back to the way they were before the pandemic. The same goes for companies and brands. Reality forced them to change the way they do business, and they had to adapt to people’s new habits and preferences. Those who identify the best path of adapting will be the fortunate ones, the ones that will emerge victorious in the post-pandemic world. 

Marc Cloosterman spoke with Torund Bryhn of the Beyond Acronyms Project about the future of branding in the world during and after the pandemic.
