Google

Year in Search 2021

Every day, millions of people across the world turn to the search bar with their curiosities and concerns. Every year, Think with Google publishes the Year in Search report with the top five consumer trends to help marketers drive their business forward.

Project information
In the world of marketers, understanding consumers is an essential part of the job. Think with Google publishes the Year in Search report using search data to identify the top five consumer trends to make sense of the infinite number of searches done every year.

By looking at the top searches, marketers can get valuable insights into what people care about. These valuable insights can help marketers make decisions that can bring positive business impact.

Working together with Google Brand Studio and collaborating closely with the studio's creatives, designers, strategists and producers, the project consisted of creating, designing and building branding, motion, promo and film systems, style guides and assets adapted to different markets globally.

The task required working across different timezones with designers, producers, animators and developers within the MediaMonks network.
