The marketing department saved your business. Now it’s time to save the marketing department

How to keep your business human in the post-pandemic landscape
We all have a fresh appreciation for the importance of human interaction after the past 18 months. Despite some people openly declaring the lack of social commitment to be the dawn of a bright new era, we are inherently social animals. Human connection is essential in every aspect of our daily lives, and that includes business. That’s because, like any relationship, a business relationship is based on trust. Trust has to be earned, but it is built over time through connection.
