Brands Expect to Continue Leaning Into Virtual Meetings Post-Pandemic
While the pandemic has prompted a rapid increase in virtual meetings, some consumer goods brands and retailers expect the trend to stick after its conclusion. I think it s a new way of doing business and it s probably going to stay even after COVID is gone, said Conor O Farrell, buying manager for Positive Healthcare at Boots Ireland. O Farrell leverages ECRM virtual programs and said they’ve helped the company become first-to-market with innovative brands.
ECRM, which has held more than 100,000 curated meetings on its face-to-face video Connect platform, developed its offerings to enable buyers and sellers to engage in live, interactive digital meetings at scale. Top-tier buyer participation has grown over 20% since before the pandemic, it noted.

Flor de Caña Rum receives the Sustainability Award at the 2020 Green Awards
LONDON, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Flor de Caña, a sustainably produced premium rum brand, has been honored with the prestigious Sustainability Award , the highest distinction given during the 2020 Green Awards (organized by The Drinks Business), in recognition of the brand s leadership within the industry and historic commitment to sustainable practices.
Today, Flor de Caña is the only global spirit to hold the world s two top sustainability certifications: Carbon Neutral and Fair Trade.
