This week, we discuss the importance of keeping up with change in the digital landscape. Focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic, we discuss how content strategy was impacted and how brands have shifted their promotional tactics. We look at the shift from full product promotion to forming more of a connection with audiences through “bestie marketing” and focusing their strategy on having a personality instead of straight-up promotion. To conclude, we dive into some of my key takeaways from this week and their overall connection to changes in content.

Land Acknowledgment

The University of Guelph-Humber and Humber College are located within the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Known as Adoobiigok, the “Place of the Black Alders” in the Mississauga language, the region is uniquely situated along Humber River Watershed, which historically provided an integral connection for Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Wendat peoples between the Ontario Lakeshore and the Lake Simcoe/Georgian Bay regions. Now home to people of numerous nations, Adoobiigok continues to provide a vital source of interconnection for all. We acknowledge and honour the land we are walking on, the moccasin tracks of our ancestors and the footprints of the future generations to come.
