The epidemic shocked businesses around the world, prompting them to speed up their digital transformation operations. Some companies completed years’ worth of digital transformation projects in a matter of months.To ensure business continuity, firms had to invest in collaboration platforms for employees and self-service portals for customers once remote work became the norm. The demand for those with capabilities in the cloud, fast application development (low code), and new-age technologies is expanding as organizations continue to engage in digital transformation initiatives.

Candidates with extensive experience in these areas are in a strong position to drive digital transformation initiatives, optimize costs, approach complex issues innovatively, and aid in the decision-making process as companies compete to attract candidates who are proficient in emerging technologies. So, what should marketers take away from the pandemic as they examine how to develop brands this year and beyond? What can we do to help companies expand more quickly? How is marketing being reinvented in the age of Covid-19?

Some new set of rules moving forward:

• Marketing begins with knowing your customer segment: The Covid-19 problem has confirmed what we already knew: businesses must communicate in extremely local and exact ways, addressing specific consumersdepending on their conditions and what is most important to them. That requires a thorough grasp of the situation on the ground, country by country, state by state, and zip code by zip code. For some businesses, such as banks, restaurants, or retailers, it may also entail tailoring messaging based on the store.

Besides geography, we’ve discovered that marketing communications must be personalized, based on an individual’s situation and values rather than demographics like age and gender. Defining consumer segments that identify people according to many dimensions that influence their purchase behavior — from psychographics to attitudinal qualities — is necessary for creating a personal, human connection within any advertising message.

• You’re up against your customer’s most recent best experience: Before Covid-19, consumer expectations had already begun to climb.As they grew older, technology was seamlessly integrated into their lives.Because they were particularly adept with our data, direct-to-consumer companies had already conditioned us to expect a level of hyper-personalization.

When the coronavirus struck, however, the digital revolution accelerated dramatically. As a result, consumer expectations for what companies might do for them with a more digital experience skyrocketed. Customer expectations are high, and they go beyond a basic digital transaction.Companies demand anticipatory, personalized experiences across the whole consumer journey now that they have their data.

• Clients demand to have what they’re looking for: If the bar continues to rise, we must strive for new customer experience values in both the B2C and B2B contexts.Consumers nowadays want frictionless, anticipatory, relevant, and linked experiences. To put it another way, they are only concerned with having what they desire when they desire it. And they’re adamant about not letting anything stand in their way. Businesses must place data and technology at the center of their operations to create these experiences.This will very certainly entail incorporating machine learning and/or artificial intelligence into the mix. Why? We can develop more relevant experiences across one or more dimensions of the four Cs thanks to data.
  • Content
  • Commerce
  • Community
  • Convenience

• Customers must sit at the heart of your customer journey: The concept of customer-centricity is not new. However, whether of politics, org charts, technology, or distance, the functional silos that interface with consumers are frequently isolated. The difficulty is, how can we hide these internal schisms from the client, who assumes that the organization as a whole is aware of them?We have all called customer service and spoken to a call center rep or chat box that was not operating with the same information as a retail location — and vice versa.

We must keep in mind that marketing is frequently only the start of a consumer connection. In a B2C scenario, for example, we engage them, convert them to a sale directly or indirectly, and then hopefully retain them so that they become advocates and perhaps open to upsells and cross-sells. Marketing must be considered in the context of the entire end-to-end journey, and efforts should be made to connect the dots whenever possible.

• The importance of relationships cannot be overstated: Developing trusting relationships with clients is critical.For example, advertising establishes a brand promise, which is then met through the product, service, and customer experience.However, in B2B sales, Covid-19 has placed a new focus on relationships. By utilizing the strength of their existing ties, teams with previous contacts have been able to maintain revenue momentum in a virtual sales environment.

Scouting for new customers, on the other hand, has prompted the development of a new set of skills focused on selling solutions rather than products.In both circumstances, market momentum is dependent on trust and integrity. This has forced a fundamental recasting of talent for B2B sales and marketing leaders to find people most suited to driving connections in this new world of online interactions -a world where charm (and even an expense account) are less important than insights and answers. Those that listen to client demands and then design solutions to suit those needs will gain trust and be rewarded.
