2021 Brings a New Dawn

As the number of COVID-19 cases increased daily across the globe, so did consumers’ levels of stress and feelings of social isolation. The ensuing chaos that erupted affected businesses, medical institutions, and government affairs—not one element of life went untouched. From cheering on our everyday heroes to mourning lost loved ones and friends, the problems of 2020 have consumers anxiously awaiting a new dawn.
