But what is "this" and how do we get through "it" - whatever it is. One thing is certain: authentic relationships on social are more important now than ever before. In 2020, there is an appetite for content to be presented in new ways.

In a world dominated by COVID-19, quarantining and data about hospitalizations and new cases, the social world has been saturated by social shopping, comfort buying and new engagement patterns. So much has changed in such a short period of time. Publishers and advertisers have been forced to rethink everything about how they approach the market in a new, meaningful way.
