Google's annual Year in Search reflects on the year’s biggest trends and moments. In 2023, Google Search turned 25. We wanted to mark the occasion by celebrating our users and what they love most. So we created our most epic (and possibly nostalgic) Year in Search to date – taking people back in time to relive top trending moments from the past quarter century and activating fandoms all over the world.
BRIEF
How can we create a deeper emotional connection with our millions of users worldwide, with a particular emphasis on Gen Z? (The generation which has grown up with Google, but is most at risk of utilizing it less.)
STRATEGY
We started with data from the Trends team. We sorted and ranked trillions of searches from a quarter century of search data in every language to uncover a list of the most searched people, figures and movements from around the world across a wide variety of categories, from arts and music to sports and world history.
