“May you live in interesting times”…the traditional Chinese curse. And times certainly have gotten more interesting as we watch Russia attempt to re-write the post-WWII order.

For marketers, it means a new level of uncertainty. Covid may be evolving to a point where we can societally manage the risk of infection. Tradeshows and Events had begun to come back Face-to-Face, corporate growth and corporate and banking earnings looked good even in spite of inflation – particularly of input materials for exhibits and interiors.

We marketing professionals are used to uncertainty and the need to change. As our companies evolve, launch new products, as consumer tastes change and technology adjusts how we source, buy, and interact, marketers have always adjusted strategy and grown to meet the challenges.

Research from the past few years shows that customers are more thoughtful than ever of your company’s reputation, listing safety (of personal information and user safety) and integrity as the top two factors in choosing a supplier or product. This is across our markets – finance, consumer products, software and education.
