We carried out the comparative analysis of industries which happened to be the most crisis-hit. The article also provides a review of markets that demonstrate the potential for growth. We examined marketing communication mechanisms, which may modify the marketing strategy provided they are applied in a new manner and combined with digital technology. Conclusions and Relevance. The economic crisis considerably undermined the performance of certain industries. However, it revealed some important tendencies, with the timely implementation of digital technologies being the main one.
