BEHAVIOR CHANGE
What does it mean for brands?
CORONAVIRUS MEANS FLUID TIMES
       Consumer decision-making and behavior adapts based on individual and contextual characteristics.
       In a fluid time, it is harder to depend on automatic behaviors that may reflect mastery of a past that no longer exists.
