Between the November elections, the dawn of a new year, and the spread of a COVID-19 vaccine, people are starting to let themselves hope for a return to something resembling normalcy. While advertisers will eagerly revise their messaging to match the moment, there’s no doubt the lessons learned during 2020 have left a lasting impression.
