Creative Brief – Special Keyword Code: LOCKDOWNLOVEP5BRIEF
This month‘s Creative Brief brings you Love In A Lockdown. With the COVID-19 Pandemic hitting its 1-year anniversary around the world, it’s been a long and gruelling road for everyone in some way. Dating, growing and maintaining relationships, and finding love have all changed drastically, and surprisingly not all for the bad. Despite one study showing a 122% increase in divorce enquiries from July to October over 2019, 65% of married people say they appreciate their spouse more. This is a chance to show how relationships have been affected by the pandemic–both for the good, and the not-so-good.
