Marketing Has To Be Relevant
Advertising has always been about finding your audience where they are and speaking to them in a way that connects. That’s never been more important than it is in 2020. And what’s relevant has never changed faster. It’s a sensitive time for marketing, but it’s also an opportunity to speak directly to customers’ hopes and fears. It’s a time for companies to highlight the important things.
In our conversation with Ryan Riess, the Marketing Director at Hershey’s in-house marketing agency, C-sweet Studio, we discussed their philosophy that’s allowed them to make effective ads this year, and more.
