Priorities of a New Era: The Post-COVID Reality

The pandemic has highlighted the importance of key ideas related to business and brand management. Companies that relied on the principles of flexible and self-organizing "teal" structures, focusing on the end consumer while preserving their core values, encountered fewer difficulties during the crisis and adapted more quickly to change. Today, they require a unifying element that will support their successful practices and guide their development in the post-pandemic period.

Shifts in Brand Platforms

Unlike the trends of previous years, which focused on globalization and individual values, future brands will concentrate on supporting local communities and the elements that bring them together: solidarity, mutual assistance, friendship, and local patriotism. These brand values will position them as activists, but their efforts will be directed not toward differences—such as gender, race, or age—but toward challenges that unite people regardless of these distinctions. They will "think globally, act locally" in practice, not just in theory. Their activism will be civic rather than political, and their leadership will inspire action. The primary goal of such brand platforms will be the formation of communities, and it is through this that they will earn the trust and loyalty of their supporters.
