5. Making brands matter
in turbulent times:
HEALTH & WELLNESS: DISRUPTION AND ADAPTING
FOR THE REBOUND
Beyond COVID-19
9 APRIL 2020
8. Investor interest in Chinese
technology took off. It also
triggered the digital home
entertainment market as millions of
people, confined to homes or
dormitories, looked for distraction.
It is seen as the point that led to
Alibaba taking off as those millions,
afraid to go outside, began to shop
online.
Recovery was also rapid and
most Asian economies bounced
back. Shares in Cathay Pacific
Airways tumbled 30 per cent from
December 2002 to April 2003 only
to nearly double in the next year as
populations proved keen to not
only return to normal, but make up
for lost time.
Our learnings from the SARS crisis shows that we CAN and
WILL bounce back
During the nine-month outbreak,
more than 8,000 cases of SARS
were confirmed and 774 people died
— 648 of them in Mainland China and
Hong Kong. Initially the Chinese
institutions were playing catch-up,
but over time they came to terms
with the challenge. The Chinese
government has an unparalleled
ability to marshal resources, and
Chinese culture prizes stoicism and
the ability to work through hardships.
SARS was the tipping point for the
internet as a mass medium in China
as people looked to mobile phones
and the web for information and
updates about the outbreak. Shares
in Sina, Sohu, and Net Ease soared.
9. The public role for brands is increasing
When CVS stopped selling cigarettes in 2015, they sent
a message that they owned a piece of America’s
healthcare. In the COVID-19 era, any brand claiming
a stake in the healthcare system has a responsibility
to adopt business practices that further the goal of
keeping people healthy.

11. While some wellness related industries are booming right now
Vitamins
Covid-19 has sparked a sudden spike in
demand for vitamin C, vitamin D and
zinc. In Singapore, NTUC FairPrice
supermarkets reported 3 to 5 times
growth in Vitamin C sales, the Philippines
health department is buying vitamin C for
school children to boost their immunity
during Covid-19 and UK vitamin suppliers
have reported sales tripling.
Home Fitness
Home workouts and fitness equipment
are booming. Joe Wicks started his
fitness business in UK in 2012. Last
months he added 950,000 YouTube
followers and has 2 UK TV networks
vying to sign him. Sales of indoor fitness
equipment, bicycles, dumbbells, yoga
mats and skipping ropes have also seen
a significant boost.
Mental health goes mainstream
Mid-pandemic, meditation apps such as
Headspace (provided free to 1.2mill NHS
health workers in UK) and Simple Habit
opened up their memberships to non-paying
customers. BP launched support to Mind in
the UK. Mental health services and apps will
form new partnerships to support the
mainstreaming of this area.
12. The impact on Pharma's commercial activities has been
diverse and challenging
Face to Face Calls have stopped amidst
lock-downs and social distancing
Reduction or pause in non-life
threatening clinical trials
Delicate management of supply chains
with potential closing of manufacturing
sites or lack of key API ingredient
Potential delay in launches as
regulatory inspections have paused
13. The insurance industry is likely to shape up to the unfolding crisis
Raise in importance of online
technology and digital
transformation
With increasing online sales to
60%, AIA has activated a digital
platform that allows its agency force
to conduct online recruitment,
training, financial review and after-
sales services, as well as remote
signature and one-time-password
submission
Increase in demand for health
insurance
Pandemic will accelerate the
development of the insurance
industry by further motivating
demand for health insurance. This
will help it to maintain a favorable
trend in the long term, as it
refocuses on protection function
and strengthening supply-side
reform of products and services
Digital partnerships for health
insurance
Partnerships such as with
telemedicine providers provide
consumers access to value-added
health services, thereby creating a
new landscape that offers innovative
services
14. And the adoption of digital technologies is helping businesses to
collaborate and succeed
Virtual clinical trials at the comfort of
patient’s home
Engagements through doctor
community platforms
Acceleration of Tele-medicine providers
To provide most relevant services
Regulated countries such as France are
accelerating and simplifying patient access
to telemedicine
Governments are setting aside reservations about
the risks of such "couch consultations" to ease
regulations
• Germany has started relaxing rules on remote
treatment
• UK’s taxpayer-funded National Health Service has
ordered 7,000 doctors’ offices across the country to
conduct as many video and phone consultations as
possible
15. The individual is approaching life with gratitude and resilience
Physical bonding between family has
increased

21. How to make your brand matter across all time horizons
In time of crisis even more than in
‘normal’ times, a key challenge is to
reconcile the distinct dynamics and
requirements of different time
horizons – winning in the now, while
preparing for the medium-term, and
transforming for longer-term growth in
changing times.
Ogilvy’s OS helps marketers manage
their brand as a holistic and agile
system – where every action, every
experience builds the brand and
business in interconnected ways.
In times of crisis, the OS helps
marketers prioritize actions to take in
the heat of the outbreak, while looking
ahead to ensure their brands are
primed to take advantage of the
recovery and ‘new normal’ beyond.

25. We believe that post-pandemic consumers will notice a yawning
‘wellness gap’ - which we are quantifying for brands
This wellness movement represents a profound change in what we think of as ‘the good life’. Where we once
measured health and wellness as the absence of illness and disease, now we hold expectations of a more holistic life
where our physical, emotional and mental health are all satisfied. Staying indoors has lead more of us to assess our
personal wellness.
Ogilvy is currently quantifying the wellness gap for brands. We believe mapping the gap between wellness
expectations of brands and their delivery will provide unique insight into the unmet needs in key industry sectors.
