Download Marketing in a post-COVID market presentation slides

The post-COVID-19 marketplace will present an entirely new range of challenges and opportunities for small and midsize businesses, forcing CEOs to rethink how they connect with their clients and engage their prospects. What might have worked in 2019 will be ineffective in 2021, as the economy surges in a post-COVID world and buyer behaviors change.

In this roundtable discussion with three of the very best Vistage marketing speakers, Thomas Young, Karen Hayward and Evan Bailyn, we discuss the implications of a post-COVID marketplace on marketing strategy, messaging, websites and SEO. These experts share their insights, perspectives and recommendations for how CEOs can prepare to capitalize on a revitalized economy and the next growth cycle.
