that, since the first two quarters of 2020, online shopping and sales have

that brands must be aware of how important it is to adapt and preserve good

which strategy they should employ that would be best for their brand: should
they promote their brand, should the brand promote positivity, or should the
brand promote a social cause. Thus, during this pandemic, most brands
chose to focus on four advertising strategies: offer real values and solutions;
present with empathy; do good for the community; and educate rather than
stay quiet (Brodsky, 2020). Moreover, Taylor (2020) points to the fact that,
during this pandemic, ads that cater to the emotional appeal are most likely
put at a greater focus and that studies concerning the role of emotion in
emotional appeal, are themes that are of relevant and valid nature (p. 588).
