Positioning Your Brand for Strength and Stability During Uncertain Times
There is no doubt that the world is in a prolonged period of uncertainty. The recent fall of Silicon Valley Bank has added to concerns about the economy and questions about persistent inflation. We are still plagued by the constant and louder drumbeat of challenging issues such as climate change, social justice, geo-political crises and, more recently, rapid advancements of artificial intelligence technology and the disruptive impact it is already having on society. In periods of uncertainty, it may be tempting for organisations to step back and to wait to say anything until the future is clearer. Seasoned experts at Cision and leading strategic communicators know this would likely be a missed opportunity at best, a fatal mistake at worst.
