Effect of the pandemic on digital marketing

Whether it was taking up baking, growing vegetables or doing online-yoga, many were quick to adopt new hobbies and maximize family time at the start of the Covid-19 lockdown.

However, changing times ask us to change. To change our minds. To change our beliefs.  Or maybe even to change the way we work.

The rules have changed

The pandemic has driven rapid, massive growth in digital marketing.  Up to last year, the adoption of online digital marketing was considered to be relatively slow In South Africa.  The pandemic and associated lockdown have changed this.  Consumers in 2020 were extremely quick to embrace digital ways of doing things.  

Covid-19 has been a baptism of fire for business digital marketing strategy in SA.  Plotting a course through 2021’s economic turbulence has favoured businesses that are agile, innovative, and quick in their decision-making. Especially with working environments in flux.  

With staff and customers unable or unwilling to go back to brick and mortar premises, business have been forced to digitise.  This helped pave the way for many organisations to move online in new and expanded ways this year. It’s inevitable that remote working will continue to be widespread once the post-pandemic dust settles. 

Is your business embracing digitisation quickly enough?
