Navigating Economic Uncertainty: Key Takeaways from Bryant Walker's Latest Appearance on Good Business San Diego
We're delighted to share that our CEO, Bryant Walker, was back on Good Business San Diego to discuss a topic that's on everyone's mind—how to navigate advertising and marketing during economic uncertainty. If you missed this enlightening episode, we've got you covered with all the essential insights.
The Ever-Changing Economic Landscape
Bryant kicked off the discussion by acknowledging that economic times are always changing, and volatility is a given. Despite the doom and gloom often highlighted in the news, he emphasized that investing in advertising and marketing during uncertain times can actually be beneficial for brands.
The Power of Strategic Investment
According to Bryant, industry pullbacks during a recession can create a supply and demand dynamic that favors ad buyers, often lowering ad costs. He pointed out that many successful brands actually increase their media investments during economic downturns. The businesses that maintain or scale their advertising over longer periods are the ones that truly have staying power.
Making the Right Cuts
If businesses do need to cut back, Bryant advises diversifying media investments and not putting all your eggs in one basket. The focus should be on realigning goals, narrowing targeting, and revisiting audiences. Cutting back on media spending may seem like an obvious way to save, but the benefits can be relatively low. The key is to stay top of mind and focus on strategy.
Reasons to Continue Advertising
Bryant shared several compelling reasons why brands should continue or even increase their advertising budgets:
Noise Level Drop: When competitors cut back, it's an excellent opportunity to reposition your brand or introduce a new product.
Project Stability: Brands can project an image of stability during challenging times.
Increase Market Share: An increase in share of voice typically leads to an increase in market share, which ultimately results in increased profits.
