Guessing Wrong: Marketing Lessons of 2020 in Hindsight
Original Broadcast Date: October 28, 2021
Last year wasn’t a blip; it wasn’t a trend; it wasn’t an aberration; it was a reset. Practically everything changed, and we may not fully understand how for years. That’s not soon enough for marketers, who need to find creative ways to get the word out. One key lesson, according to visionary Mark Schaefer? Humility!
Register for this Virtual Symposium to hear Schaefer offer his take on the “complex cocktail” that can solve the mystery of the new somewhat-normal in marketing. He’ll address several key concerns for marketers, such as consumer fatigue: “Before the Pandemic, about 20% of Americans said they suffered from chronic sleep problems,” he says. “Today it’s 60%! What does that mean for UX when 60% of our customer service people are cranky?”
