Getting the Right Tone

Lockdown has changed the rules for brands and advertisers so how your brand chooses to behave during this crisis could have a lasting effect on its brand health.

It is more critical than ever for brands to find the right tone to communicate safely and effectively as consumers become increasingly judgemental and open to brand switching. Efforts to adopt advertising tone & messaging in response to consumers’ changing priorities are proving to be effective.

Continued, positive engagement with locked down audiences is important but getting the TONE of those communications right is vital if you want to leave the consumer with the right FEELING.

• 87% still want to hear from favourite brands during lockdown
• 85% now expect advertising content to be non-exploitative
• 91% having already switched brands since the outbreak
• 85% will revise their brand loyalties post lockdown
• Over half favour brands showing positive actions for the community
• Ads adapted to the COVID-19 crisis get almost 15% more attention than those that fail to respond
