Embracing communication chaos

It’s no secret that this Presidency has been anything but ordinary. Conventional norms across communication, PR, data and more have all been challenged. So how do brands and companies navigate it all? Are these trends here to stay? Whether individuals and brands want to lean in or get out of the way, Twitter Wars and company boycotts are just some of the reactions that may change the course of what’s next. Our panel will dig into their thoughts on how to navigate a controversial landscape and what we can learn from it.
