The current state of digital advertising
W
ith the change in consumer behavior,spending, and media consumption as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, marketers quickly pivoted to find the right strategies, tactics, and channels that generate more brand awareness, traffic, leads, and sales. In this unprecedented new reality, the massive changes have forced businesses to adapt.
To chart a path forward, businesses and marketers must continually adjust marketing spend and track performance to be able to reallocate
budgets quickly. With uncertain horizons in 2021, a shift between in-store and online is inevitable As we look back at 2020, we’d say digital
advertising won against all odds.
as we emerge from the coronavirus pandemic.
Marketers will need to be both committed and creative about how to use digital channels. It is too early to tell what that will look like—what behaviors will stick, what attitudes will have shifted permanently, and what technologies will have firmly taken root in our everyday lives.
As you look ahead to 2021 to plan and evaluate your performance, look to our key findings and results to guide your digital advertising strategy.
The metrics in this report were pulled from the Choozle platform and includes data from Jan. 1, 2020, to December 18, 2020.

“For some organizations, near-term survival is the only agenda item.
Others are peering through the fog of uncertainty, thinking about how to position themselves once the crisis has passed and things return to normal. The question is, ‘What will normal look like?’ While no one can say how long the crisis will last, what we find on the other side will not look like the normal of recent years.”
