Navigating advertising and marketing in an economic downturn

Posted

As clear signs of slowing economic growth have shown, challenging times lie ahead. Although we are only halfway through the year, we have seen clear signs of slowing economic growth: the S&P 500 officially entered a “bear market” in June, GDP shrunk by an annual rate of 1.6 percent in the first quarter, and the Federal Reserve announced a 0.75 percent increase in interest rates — we can’t skate around the facts; or the obvious.

Staying cool, calm and collected:

It’s natural for a business to make cutbacks during challenging financial periods. However, this is the time to reevaluate your current marketing and advertising efforts to keep your brand top-of-mind with your target consumer through empathetic, relatable material.

The brands that make cutbacks that slash marketing and advertising budgets are the ones who see a significant loss once the economy returns to normal.

How AdCellerant has helped partners navigate uncertainty:

In 2020, our team worked closely with media partners to address these concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. As our business navigated the uncertainty, we knew it was essential to find a quick shift in our strategy to help create successful plans for partners and help small businesses generate revenue to stay thriving amidst a global pandemic. This proactive work resulted in boosted digital revenue to supplement traditional losses and is a primary reason AdCellerant was named Business Intelligence Group’s Account Management Team of the year in the 2020 Excellence in Customer Service Award.
