The HIVE roundup, a summary of our 12-part series
This article is part of our series on Global consumer insight on Covid-19. You can view the full series or download the report.
Over the last 12 weeks the world has changed almost unrecognisably, something which continues to impact many parts of the globe. This profound disruption has sent ripples through consumer behaviour, forcing change across almost all product categories and industries. Here at Brand Genetics we have been exploring these shifts with weekly analysis from our global network of insight and innovation professionals covering every continent except Antarctica!
Now, as many countries emerge from lockdown and businesses return to a sense of normality, we have made the decision to halt these weekly updates. As a wrap up, we have complied all the analysis into a handy set of links so that you can easily find the insight into your industry from the HIVE. Check them out and, as always, if you have further questions or challenges to explore please do get in touch:
