“With COVID-19, consumers are looking towards brands more than ever to ‘do the right thing’.
McKinsey & Company reports that nearly two-thirds of consumers believe that brand’ current
reactions to and actions during COVID-19 will influence their future purchase decisions related to
these brands. As reported by Innovation Visual, nearly three-fourths of consumers believed that it
was the social responsibility of brands to assist them with their everyday lives during the pandemic
and to clearly communicate with them about how these brands were contributing to consumers’ lives
through COVID-19. One-third of consumers feel that brands should provide special discounts to help
consumers fight the economic impact of the pandemic.”
