Digital acceleration was on everyone’s mind in 2020, and as we continue to adjust to new norms, consumers’ behaviors have shifted. Income inequality, health and safety, privacy, and sustainability are just a few of the subjects where trend dichotomies have started to form. All of these culminate to create consumers’ healthy hesitation. Consumers want to ensure that as the year progresses, they’re protecting themselves, their families, their health, and their finances, while maintaining connection and equality.
PlayWhat if you could go back in time? Would you do things differently knowing what you know now?
We don’t have to let you know that this year was unprecedented. Because according to Dictionary.com, “unprecedented” is one of the most hated words of the year.
The question now will be what can we learn from this past year? Is it something we’ll throw on the scrap heap of history as a past we wish to forget or use it as a future prologue predictor? Watch Episode 4 of The Download to find out.

We’re back with episode 3 of The Download from Microsoft Advertising. Change is the only constant in marketing and just when marketers thought they understood third-party cookies, those are about to crumble. So what will a post-cookie world look like? We have our vision.
PlayOn Episode 2 we key in on the theme of Retail. Retail has been an interesting area in 2020, as it was undergoing transformation the past several years and then Covid-19 sped up a lot of that change, where we use acronyms like BOPIS (Buy Online Pick-Up Instore) to describe emerging customer behavior patterns.

In 2020 we have witnessed more change this year than in possibly the past 40 years. And with rapid change comes new ways to understand how to navigate, re-think and re-invent. Design is a vehicle to communicate what a brand is about. At Microsoft Advertising, we know you may not have all of the time to dedicate to learning about our products, culture, insights and brand as you might with competing products and services. We know you want information where we tell you what you want, when you want it. So we think it’s easiest to take the large amount of information we have and create a digestible format for you to stay up on our brand, thought leadership, product and business culture.
