Coming out of COVID-19 alive and kicking is at the forefront of every marketer’s mind.
We’ve overcome the reactive phase, which saw a scrambling mix of panic and pivoting; and we’ve moved through the lockdown phase, where we saw marketers revising their strategies and doubling down on digital post budget cuts.
As we move into the slingshot phase—where businesses are desperate to open and consumers are craving consumption—we’ll see that the brands that have shifted to online and e-commerce and are successfully differentiating themselves from the masses, will thrive.
As TRIBE CEO, Anthony Svirskis, explained to Forbes, for brands to maximise this slingshot phase, they must embrace digital.
“Digital media allows advertisers to adapt, for as long as the state of flux remains… Brands still want and need to advertise to people in various stages of lockdown. Choosing channels is the easy part, messaging and content creation is the variable.”
While brands turn to social media as their advertising channel of choice, one crucial element that will maximise their bounce-back is ongoing content creation for this channel.
How are you sourcing branded content? How quickly are you sourcing it? Is it cost-effective? Are your assets and digital strategy ready for the slingshot phase?
Over the past few weeks at TRIBE, we’ve seen brands adapt their strategy by tapping into the power of their customers to source on-demand branded content, amplified to the right audience, with the right message.
It’s cost-effective. It’s fast. It’s scalable. And most importantly, it’s working; with many brands committing to the step change to digital through executing ongoing influencer activity and social content production on TRIBE. Consumers have taken a leap forward into online shopping and digital consumption and brands have responded.
Take a look at some of the incredible content our brands have received on TRIBE in the last few weeks alone.
