Has Coronavirus forced us into a new digital age? Let’s discuss ☕️

Now more than ever has it been so crucial to ensure your digital presence is up to scratch and as seamless as it can be… so where has this left us?

From social media booming along anyway, without the pressure of a pandemic forcing us all online, Facebook alone saw an increased usage of 30% when Covid-19 first hit the world. Keeping clients and customers up to date and in the loop has never been so difficult, particularly for those smaller brands who rely on word of mouth marketing and letting their product do the talking.

But who said you can’t have both an incredible offline and online brand presence? With the end (hopefully) in sight of the pandemic, we’ve delved into how this has affected our digital usage and where we go from here in a blog post.. https://riverandbear.co.uk/new-age-of-technology/

What are your thoughts? Leave us a comment below ⬇️

Coronavirus has forced local businesses and brands to close up their customer facing shops and has led to a new digital age.

It feels like Spring has sprung in the Neighbourhood today. Taking a stroll around our new residence and letting Maurice mark his territory. We’re keeping tight-lipped on our location but this is a pretty big giveaway. When we said the city centre, we meant it. With the renovations starting sooner than you think, we’ll be taking you on the journey from rubble to rum cocktails (with a dash of lime.) 🍻
