Over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every single day, and by 2020, it’s estimated that 1.7 MB of data will be created every second for every person on Earth. In this connected world, that means people have infinite choice over what they watch, read, interact with and buy, each and every moment.

Curation is what makes the digital world work for people today. We have entered an age where people expect more relevance and personalized experiences for all the moments they take part in. Marketers and agencies can’t have a one-size-fits-all, calendar-based approach to moments planning. In this curated world, there is more complexity for advertisers but also more opportunity to create meaningful connections between people and brands around relevant moments.

Over the last few years, Facebook IQ has taken a closer look at moments that matter from all over the world and how advertisers are using moments to drive more strategic media plans. We’ve compiled these learnings into a comprehensive report, Moments that Bring People Closer Together.
