B2B turns to digital marketing in the wake of coronavirus outbreak

Interteam Content Services' Dan Gerstenfeld illustrates how marketing budgets, allocated to industry events, are now transferred to online marketing in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak. Recently, I met with a potential client, who expressed great disappointment over the last-minute cancellation of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2020 in the wake of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The world largest cellular trade fair would have been the major industry event in which his company was planning to participate. Months of preparation and tens of thousands of dollars were lost as the Coronavirus panic led to the last-minute cancellation decision. The frustrated marketing manager said his company had already been notified that another large show, in which they had planned to shine, had been postponed for the time being.
