from 10 million to 300 million by
April of 2020.The company faced a severe credibility
crisis for its brand and had a
tough time managing security, customer satisfaction and
other issues because of the
sudden increase of user base across the world. In hindsight it
can be argued that Zoom failed to
see the opportunity that existed in the consumer
segment and erred in its strategy
to focus more on enterprise customers.
Assuming the Pandemic had not
struck and if you were the CMO of Zoom in November
of 2020, what plans would you
make to acquire new customers? What would be your
USP and how would you focus on
