Session: Pivoting Your Market Strategy to Survive a Crisis
3D printing is older than you think, in fact, it's one of the oldest "new" technologies. Yet, despite its futuristic appeal, the industry has historically been heavily reliant on offline marketing strategies and industry events rather than digital marketing.As rapidly as the pandemic transformed the workplace, the additive industry became quick to adapt to new digital methods of outreach and communication. With the advantages the technology brought to hospitals, as in 3D printable visors, companies saw a huge opportunity to extend the reach of their 3D printing news to mainstream media.
This discussion is about branding your business during a time of crisis, riding the waves of media trends and how sometimes jumping on the bandwagon of the latest trends can pose serious problems for your brand image.
