December’s Product Highlights: Closing the Year with Unmissable Updates
December 2024 was a whirlwind for digital marketers.
Not only did we see major shifts in the digital landscape, but we also witnessed record-breaking sales and new regulations. Will it set the scene for 2025?
Here are some standout moments:
- Black Friday and Cyber Monday shatter records: The numbers are in and global online spending on Black Friday reached $74.4 billion, a 5% increase year-over-year
- Google’s AI revolution continues: Google expanded its AI Overview feature in search results to include paid ad placements
- Regulatory changes and policy announcements: The European Commission also took action against Temu, an online marketplace, for alleged violations of consumer rights
However, we didn’t let the end-of-year holiday sales and parties prevent us from launching some seriously good updates.
