these days I have been very busy because summer is coming and many campaigns is coming so my job is very busy these days.

It has many effects to my work . Because of the virus situation people cannot go out to go shopping so offline advertising reduced and online advertising increased.
Their budget has been always very little.

Most of the time I’d like to work from home I can have enough sleep and I can have a rest but the other situation is when we have a meeting with clients or the team, it is better to face to face to go through the plan.
We understand each other from our face and our motions but on phone we can just hear each other.

I think the virus will change consumer behaviors on their shopping and their way to get the message. For our industry online advertising will increase much and much.
Clients will focus on online shopping experiences and their online shop which made them to earn more money.

it is more like a U saved recovery it will last for a long time
It will be hard the economy goes bad for these days and many industries stopped

From online to offline shopping they spend more time and money on online shopping. I do not have the amount number but I think for Chinese people still spend the same amount money as before.
