Let’s #FlattenTheCurve Against COVID-19 Together

Dear reader,

Your health and safety, as well as that of our employees at Socialyte and Lytehouse, are our top priority. During this difficult time for everyone, we’ve done our part to mandate a company-wide work-from-home policy until further notice. That said, we’re fortunate enough to maintain business as usual thanks to our digital tools and virtual capabilities. Feel free to continue to use us as a resource as we all adjust to what the coming weeks have in store for us and our businesses.

We're in this fight against COVID-19 together. It affects us all regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, health record, or socio-economic status. Along with washing our hands and avoiding touching our face, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has advised communities where the virus is spreading to practice social distancing in an effort to prevent further transmission from this highly contagious disease.

Over the coming weeks, we understand that this will become increasingly difficult for everyone, so we’ve asked all of our influencers to educate and remind their followers about the importance of social distancing. In short, this means limiting social interaction, avoiding large group gatherings and keeping 6 feet between yourself and strangers. By doing so, you reduce peaks of outbreaks keeping the daily number of cases below the healthcare system capacity as not to overwhelm hospitals. This article by Vox explains this concept called “flattening the curve” very well.

As influencers, we understand that they can have a tremendous impact, which is why we’re encouraging all of our influencers to promote the #FlattenTheCurve movement through their content. Socialyte and Lytehouse as agencies will also be taking this stance on social media channels and we encourage your brands to do the same.

As always, we’re here for you and we’re working within the safety of our individual homes together on strategies to promote brands and help re-stimulate the economy from the impact of this pandemic. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us to help your brand navigate this difficult time. We’re here for you.

Stay safe and healthy,

Beca
