Stop using 'in these uncertain times' in your ads
We’re several weeks into ‘Safer at Home’ in Wisconsin and if your schedule is anything like mine right now, you’re consuming more media than ever.
We’ve all seen and heard the ads: gentle piano music, images of empty streets and businesses turning their storefront sign from open to closed, and a somewhat melancholy voiceover saying “in these uncertain times.”
