Raise your hand if you thought this pandemic would blow over in a week or two last spring. Instead, the virus dug in its heels and forced us to shift how we live and work for months on end. If you’re a brand marketer, that meant pivoting your strategy to account for the “new normal,” tossing out (or heavily revising) now-defunct messaging, and collaborating with teammates over Zoom rather than in person.
