Q1 2021 Social Ad Report: Top Advertisers on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter
Our 2021 Social Advertising Report looks at top digital advertisers across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Includes a look back at 2020 ad spend.
As we Tweet and ‘gram our way into another year, social advertising remains a top focus for brands. In fact, top advertisers across verticals spending an average of 60-70% of digital budgets on social channels.
But after a year fraught with a pandemic, a presidential election, and continued conversations of racial and social injustice, advertisers have been faced with a choice to join the conversation, or stay silent.
What we found in many cases was a continuation of the 2020 trend to speak out—either with new creatives addressing current events and national sentiments, or with silence, in the form of paused campaigns and shifting budgets as a form of protest and solidarity.
