Focusing on the Opportunities
The arrival of coronavirus upheld the world with a tremendous shock before anyone could realize the world was under lockdown. This crisis has caused a lot of damage to the world—especially the businesses. However, it also allowed businesses to get out of the comfort zones and survive through global pandemic with innovative ideas. “I believe due to the era of the COVID-19 Pandemic we have accelerated online activity by a decade. What was keeping people offline for so long, overnight with COVID-19 it forced the masses to jumpstart their online careers,” says Joseph.
Joseph has asserted that the #1 priority right now is to support others especially the local businesses. Social Media 55 is facing a growing pressure that SMB’s are facing. The company was ready for remote working as some of the team members have been working from remote locations. It has team members spread in dozens of cities throughout the United States and Canada. The only change that Social Media 55 faced was that the core team could not operate from the HQ as the team was in COVID-19 “Red Zone”. In order to tackle the change, the team quickly adapted to Zoom and Google Hangouts and other preferred screen sharing and conferencing tools. “All of us have been quite fortunate and have been busy throughout the pandemic. We have had the pleasure of working with some incredible brands and entrepreneurs,” said Joseph.
