Stepping Up
Our weekly report, Stepping Up, brings you a selection of the latest issues arising from COVID-19 and how brands can make a difference.
Weber Shandwick Canada has been closely tracking the issues arising from the impact of COVID-19 to see how our clients can meaningfully contribute to solutions. We are seeing many innovative responses from brands, government and individuals using their expertise and energy to help their communities.
Each week we will identify emerging themes and trends to help guide thinking and recommendations. We recognize that there are times to act, and times to observe and learn. Some brands have a solution that makes life better and solves a problem; others can apply lessons on the frontlines to how they manage their employees or connect with consumers.
Everyone is better, however, when they are aware of opportunities to step up and make a difference at a time of great need.
