The pandemic triggered an acceleration of digital transformation efforts across organizations. As consumers shifted to online and mobile channels, companies were forced to rethink customer interactions and the entire buying journey. Simultaneously, bad actors seized this opportunity to profit by exploiting consumers and the brands they trust, creating even more pressure on brand protection professionals.
These bad actors conduct multifaceted online campaigns that employ many of the same tactics used by legitimate marketers, in effect ‘weaponizing’ brands. Defeating these sophisticated networks of infringers is a high priority for professionals tasked with protecting companies’ intellectual property and brands.
An emerging approach to better brand protection is to align these efforts with the organization’s digital transformation strategy. By building awareness of the risks that brands face across digital channels and highlighting how brand protection strategies meet these challenges, IP leaders are helping marketing, ecommerce and cybersecurity teams to realize additional ROI form digital investments.
