Back to School 2021: NEW ONESHEET
Last week we shared our blog post with you. This week, we have a brand-spanking-new onesheet that you can download! Wow! It’s like a grab-and-go lunch – but helpful data 😉
How ready are you feeling for back to school? 2021 back-to-school spending is projected to hit its highest level in recent years: $32.5 billion for K-12 students, or $612 per student, according to Deloitte. And as for shopping style? 34% of consumers plan to use “buy online, pickup in store” and curbside pickup.

Around the Industry:
- Auto buyers are moving in the direction of not only conducting research online, but making full purchases without stepping foot in a dealership: 60% of car dealers say they’re investing more in capabilities for online purchases than they were before (Forbes).
- Before Google announced the delay of its third-party cookie phase-out, 71% of advertisers and 67% of publishers surveyed by Advertiser Perceptions said they were optimistic that data privacy changes would benefit the industry in the long run. Hey, that’s good! (Adexchanger)
- As parents look to replenish items, back-to-school spending is projected to rise 16% YoY, with a $612 average spend per child (Deloitte via Bidtellect).
- 3 strikes and you’re out! Google started piloting a three-strike penalty protocol aimed at ad accounts that repeatedly violate ad policies. This includes ads promoting the creation of false documents, hacking services, spyware, tobacco, drugs & weapons, etc. (MediaPost).
- TTD is bringing Unified ID to TV for the cookie-less future. AMC Networks and Tubi are among recent supporters of the cookie-less identifier dubbed Unified ID 2.0 (Adweek).
Creatives of the Week:
New! Each week, we’ll share some of our most engaging creatives to shed some light on the magic that makes creative assets shine in the wild!
Ah, guess what? Listicles consistently give way to top performance and engagement, as seen in this terrific location-specific creative. Plus the image is visually appealing, while still achievable (i.e. you could be there!). And on the right, we have a repeat, folks! That’s because the image shows off the glasses clearly, unobstructed, and with a bright-colored background. Notice how the title and description indicate expertise (“America’s Best”) and a promotion – a guarantee for engagement.
