COVID-19 has turned the world upside down and disrupted the marketplace. The consumer and retail sectors are reeling from social distancing and self-isolation measures that have impacted restaurants, stores, hotels, schools, sports and entertainment venues, airlines and other industries. What is the future of businesses and their brands post-pandemic? How can we future proof our business and strengthen our brands both today and tomorrow, in case of possible future waves of the coronavirus?
