Online Masterclass: Marketing in the time of COVID-19

On Thursday, 28 May 2020 from 19.00 hrs – 20.00 hrs (CEST), Paul Garrison, Adjunct Faculty at Maastricht School of Management, will conduct a free online Masterclass on the topic of “Marketing in the time of COVID-19". This masterclass is part of an online Masterclass series during which experts will discuss different business areas in the light of COVID-19.

About the online Masterclass
The COVID-19 crisis has had a massive impact on customer behavior in both the short and long term. This online Masterclass aims to help business leaders and people working in marketing reassess and pivot their brand strategy relative to the changing needs of their customers during the lockdown. Coming out of the crisis, customers will particularly favor those businesses that have broadened the scope of their brand value proposition to extend to all stakeholders - customers, employees, suppliers and communities.

At the end of the Masterclass, you will also have the opportunity to ask your questions. 
You will leave the online Masterclass with practical tools which you immediately can put into practice the next day.

The Masterclass is based on two recently published articles by Paul Garrison.

• Is It Time for a Brand Pivot?
• Marketing in a Post Crisis World
