Each year, we host a diverse group of summer interns across our offices and practices. Our interns have two roles: one, to assist their practice leads as they learn about branding through real client work, and two, to work together to create a brand based on a fictional project brief. This year, we split our interns into two groups and tasked them with a fictitious prompt: an investor purchased the rights to the Blockbuster brand and is reinventing it as a streaming aggregator—a single app that partners with and provides access to a vast variety of streaming app content and subscriptions in one place.

Earlier this year, we surveyed 11 international CMOs and brand leaders in B2B and B2C healthcare not only about how the pandemic impacted the industry, but about which new strategies would stick now that the sector is no longer singularly focused on COVID. Of all the lessons learned, perhaps the most important is that empathy, simplicity and clarity are paramount to success.
