In a chaotic and unpredictable era, eight themes show how people adjusted to multiple crises in 2020 and offer valuable clues about the role brands can play.

After the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in early March, we saw a massive uptick in coronavirus mentions online. By the middle of the month, the U.S. had risen to the top of global online conversations with 10.6M organic mentions about coronavirus between February 15 – March 16, 2020 alone.
