Well, here we are after an incredible month. We’ve moved on from being in a strict Alert Level 4 into Alert Level 3. And, fingers crossed, soon to be sitting in Alert Level 2.
What a whirlwind of a month New Zealanders have all had.
We’ve seen many people get creative with how to keep occupied during Alert Level 4. Then with a little more freedom in Alert Level 3 – we’ve seen some of us return to work. Some have even managed to get a much missed coffee from the local café, although not in the usual way!
While it has been stressful for many, it has also been a great time for the businesses we work with to use this downtime to engage with their clients and focus on their online presence. With many people still at home during Level 3, many of us have been using the internet far more than we normally would engaging with a wide range of content from all over the world. It’s been a good opportunity for many businesses to create engaging content and reach out to and engage with many people across the realm of the internet.
