Responding to Covid-19: A guide for B2B marketers
Insights for B2B brand marketers navigating the current crisis
Over recent weeks and months, the world as we know it has changed dramatically. Large parts of the planet are still under some form of lockdown, business has been hit hard financially, and both brands and marketers are being challenged like never before. Our advice is intended to help B2B marketers respond to the crisis, and to help them recover with vaccinations on the horizon.
Rapid response: How brands should communicate
The Covid-19 pandemic was a topic too big for thought leadership to ignore.
Brands needed to respond and provide expert guidance to their clients and audience, and thought leadership provided the perfect platform. Companies around the world started to use their B2B content to reassure and reaffirm. But as the crisis changed the direction of thought leadership, new challenges emerged: how do I balance my messaging; what is the right level of communication; and what does my audience want to know?

A road to recovery
The crisis is not over, but audiences have realised that the Covid-19 virus is something that they will have to live and work through. Brands need to do the same, and they need to adjust their content and their messaging accordingly.
By realising that they will have clients at different stages of recovery, brands need to develop messaging for multiple buyer groups and focus their efforts on those they really want to hit. This is not the time to attempt to target everyone.
