Key Takeaways from Q2 2020

Here are some of the key digital marketing trends from Q2 2020's advertising data.


Brand
Paid Search and Social Advertising down, but climbing back.
Many advertisers either slowed or paused their online marketing efforts at the beginning of the pandemic in Q2, but are starting to show signs of recovery that may put budgets on track to reach pre-COVID-19 levels by the end of the year.

Advertisers who kept spending saw efficiencies.
Ad costs dropped as marketers paused, slowed or otherwise modified spending which created an opportunity for those remaining to buy more impressions at a lower cost.
Shoppable Ads were a bright spot for Q2.
Across channels, product-specific shopping ads saw robust spending growth in the second quarter of 2020 despite the challenges of COVID-19. The entire category of Ecommerce Ads increased, while spending on these product-specific ads in both the Search and Social channels was up in Q2 compared to last year, even as total spending on Search and Social declined over the same period.

The use of automation grows during the pandemic.
Practitioners leaned on publisher automation to help them navigate the challenges they faced during Q2 in order to make every ad impression count
