Moment marketing (reactive marketing)
Building communications around live cultural, news or seasonal moments rather than a pre-planned calendar - from a single reactive social post to a full campaign triggered by an event. The real discipline is preparation: brands that know what they stand for and keep approval paths short can act while the moment is live; the rest arrive after the conversation has moved on.
