The business world now recognises that pandemic conditions are here to stay.
SoPro have direct access to several hundred B2B marketing operations, spanning 60+ verticals. In recent weeks we have seen major movement in global sentiment, shifting from defensive tactics to proactive strategy as realisation sets in.
We are now witnessing the largest and most complex change management project in the history of humankind.
The worlds businesses are rapidly readjusting to compete in a new world. Here’s how.
A global lockdown has created substantial challenges for our customers in this sector. Whilst home working and home schooling have boosted sector demand, global supply issues continue to be complex. We continue to see high consumer demand from a wide range of segments including remote & online education, support services and the healthcare IT sector. Our customers are concerned that a lack of research and development will slow down future model releases.
Whilst it’s rarely a bad thing to consider adjusting your targeting, it may not be necessary, depending on which sectors you specialise in; it could be a case of simply casting your net wider than normal and SoPro can help you do this. Obviously switch out those sectors that are currently offline due to the lockdown (Travel, Events, Restaurants, etc) but generally speaking, demand remains high across the board. No major targeting changes advised.

What better way to convey the surreal magic of the SoPro service than through an animated 60-second explainer video, starring a flying submarine. We commissioned the experts over at Sentio Space to encapsulate SoPro’s fantastical prospecting machine in under a minute. And we don’t mind admitting they totally nailed it.
