Of the Moment: Promposals
Millions of people around the world use Google tools every day — for searching, watching, shopping and sharing. In the “Of the Moment” series, we dig into the data to uncover what’s on the minds of today’s consumers and provide context for developing trends. The result is a snapshot of culture and commerce and a tip sheet for marketers looking to own the moments that matter.
