Who are the agile brands in a crisis?

Jeremy Stern April 16, 2020

At PromoVeritas our mission is to ensure that the world of promotions is safe and fair for both the promoters and the public. One of our core brand values is ‘agility’, the ability to adapt and be responsive to unexpected changes. This is something that is vital during the current COVID-19 crisis. Some brands have just put up the shutters and will try to hibernate or ride out the storm. Others have come out fighting. Here is our selection of some of the best examples of businesses learning to bend to allow them to give back or suit the needs of others.

Agile brand examples

Budweiser have launched their Save Pub Life gift card scheme to pre-purchase drinks at their local pubs as a way of helping pubs to survive the current ‘lock out’.

Budweiser is an agile brand

Deliveroo have pledged 500,000 free meals for NHS staff whilst encouraging users to donate a meal here.

Crocs are very popular in hospitals because they are both comfortable and easy to clean. With the crisis in mind, Crocs are giving away a pair of free shoes to healthcare workers.

Tottenham football club’s new £1 billion White Hart Lane stadium is being used as a Covid 19 testing centre as well as a food distribution centre for the vulnerable.

Yesterday, our stadium opened its doors to patients of @NorthMidNHS Women’s Outpatient Services.

The clinic will operate Monday to Saturday and will see up to 70 patients visit every day, freeing up capacity at the hospital itself to treat patients with COVID-19 symptoms. pic.twitter.com/d0xAK9DcuS

SAS the Swedish airline has grounded most of its planes, but is retraining its staff as healthcare workers. Most in flight crew already have advanced first aid skills.

The sign of a strong agile brand is its ability to think on its feet and bounce back from any situation. The brands above are proving that it is important to think of the public before the bottom line. They are doing it in ways that are clever and genuine, but still inline with core brand values. The public will remember them long after the crisis is over.
