As the COVID-19 outbreak began last month, I noticed there seemed to be two kinds of brands. Those who went quiet and were going through the crisis communications playbook when it came to content on social channels.

It wasn’t until after the bear walked back into the woods that I felt my racing heart, clenched muscles and panted breathing.
