Description
Read the room. COVID-19 has changed everything over the last month and advertising is definitely no exception. We spoke to the global tech editor of Campaign Magazine, Omar Oakes, to find out how the industry is responding, how consumer sentiment has changed and what brands’ place is in all of this - if they have one at all.
