Now, more than ever, brand leaders are rethinking their strategies on how to connect with their audiences.

Marketers spend too much time looking for ways to force customers to pay attention to their messages and not enough time thinking of ways to make customers want to pay attention. Consumers are leaning towards brands that react to challenging times by uplifting their communities and care about honest, open dialog.
There are risks associated with not standing behind your purpose –especially when businesses are being called upon to demonstrate their ability and integrity during a crisis. Those who project a higher share of voice than their market share will significantly outperform those who are cutting down on their communications in critical times.
The purpose should be woven into all brands' operations. It should guide and inspire responsible actions and the creation of economic and community value.
