2 Why now?

• Media consumption behavior is changing as a result of the Corona crisis: people are at home, cooking more themselves and, in the crisis, are increasingly taking to familiar and credible offers in TV, digital, radio and print.

• The time spent watching TV and the time spent on social media have risen sharply in recent weeks.

• So instead of shutting down communication completely, brands should rather adapt their communication to be dialogue and content-oriented and invest more in it.

• The need for communication, information, entertainment and inspiration has probably rarely been greater in recent years.

• Thus, knowing how your market is changing is essential.
