Opportunities do exist as these crises change behaviour and attitudes. These are either in the form of changes in habits or where there is a short term increase in trial, the experience of that trial needs better understanding to convert into longer term repeat. The early days are probably the most important to research the motivations for change, the nature of media habits and so forth. For as time goes by the sharp shocks of these crises become more and more absorbed into longer term and broader macro-trends such as the likes of health consciousness, environmental awareness and the like.
