Leading Through Empathy and Value-Driven Content
2022 will be the year of value-driven content. Customers now expect brands to speak authentically and empathically compared to before the pandemic. Brands should address sustainability, social responsibility, inclusion, and diversity. However, leading with empathy extends to more mundane communications as well, such as relaying shipping times and a shortage of products. Be yourself when it comes to running your business, the personality you give your brand is a pillar to your success.
