Naturally, to appeal to this generation, companies must adopt a specific way to define themselves as well.
If the Try Guys situation taught us anything, it was that even the people with the most squeaky-clean images could land up in a public relations (PR) crisis at some point in their careers. And it doesn’t just have to be a cheating scandal as it was in their case. PR crises can arise from anything—a problem with your product, an unsavory reply to a customer’s tweet or even a bad advertising campaign.
As the world becomes increasingly digitized, small businesses must adapt to survive.
