It’s an unprecedented time around the globe as we band together to fight Covid-19. Only a few weeks ago everything seemed normal and now we find ourselves embarking on a four week lockdown here in New Zealand.
But, it won’t dampen our spirits. We know what we’re doing this for and we’re all in the same boat. We will get through this and life will return to normal.
Before Covid-19 became an issue in New Zealand, we were hard at work delivering quality content on behalf of our clients. We approached February with a whole new set of content ideas for our clients. We are constantly amazed by how forward-thinking our clients are. There is always something in the pipeline as they work to grow their businesses.
We will still be creating content, despite the lockdown, as we believe it’s important our clients stay relevant online, even in a time of crisis.
Here are the content strategy highlights for February.
