With the sweeping change of leadership in DC…

Many consumers are anxious. Consumer sentiment is closely tied to who’s in power, so brands will need to reassure shoppers with value messaging and financing offers, especially for bigger purchases. Businesses are also anxious about coming changes. For instance, an increase in tariffs, especially on Chinese goods, has companies scrambling to stock up before they go into effect. And $2 trillion in proposed cuts to the federal budget is worrying government contractors. That said, the 2017 tax cuts are expected to be renewed and government regulations relaxed. For marketers, that likely means the American Privacy Rights Act is on hold, along with any substantial AI laws.

Say What?

“Many brands put a tremendous amount of time and energy into developing brand guidelines to help drive consistency across channels. However, we’ve found that accessibility standards such as minimum type size and color contrast levels are often overlooked. We work with our clients to ensure their brand guidelines address the needs of this larger potential audience.”
