Marketing by Contingency in the Time of Covid-19: Overcoming Business Crises and Meeting Marketing Challenges provides conceptual and empirical evidence from a marketing and business perspective about how firms and nonprofit organizations in developing countries have coped with the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Covid-19 pandemic became not only a health threat but also a business threat and challenge.

Using case studies, the chapters identify the elements that were critical for strengthening a product or company’s brand value, consumer satisfaction, and loyalty during this time of crisis and uncertainty. The information and experiences shared here show how organizations learned to be resilient and reacted to challenging market situations using creativity and innovation to present consumers with prompt solutions to cover their most basic needs. Topics cover brand engagement, influencer marketing, building consumer trust, navigating restrictive conditions using analytics and predictive modeling, internal marketing, and more.
