Marketers are adapting during the COVID-19 crisis by rethinking creative within advertisements, developing campaigns more rapidly than ever and creating virtual experiences—in some cases, entirely from scratch—to replace in-person ones.

Just a few weeks prior, such an event seemed unthinkable online. But the “Breakfast for Dinner” series brought curated recipes, tutorials, lip sync performances from famous queens and drag looks to virtual attendees, according to Event Marketer.
