The New Automotive Normal – How Industry Needs to Evolve

Join Adobe’s Axel Heyenga as he speaks to Alistair Vines from MediaMonks about the automotive industry before, during and after the pandemic and how the industry should shape up to the new realities after the crisis.

In this episode, they explore the impact that Covid-19 has had on mobility on a global scale.

But with the threat of a second wave ever looming and consumers continuing to be wary of public transport, is there an opportunity for the automotive industry to start making a comeback? Can the industry use this forced period of re-evaluation to start overhauling the traditional dealership infrastructure, moving towards business models that are powered by digital experiences and online sales?
