Q1 2022 Quarterly Trends Report
Marketers who follow industry benchmarks know that the first quarter year generally sets the tone for the rest of the year. Most large brands set marketing budgets at the annual level and are approved months in advance. Generally, only a major event—such as COVID in 2019—forces marketers to rethink spending mid-year.
For over a decade, the digital advertising benchmarks presented in Skai’s Quarterly Trends Reports have helped practitioners better understand the marketing landscape. Many use them to compare their own efforts against their industry peers.

Q1 2022 results: retail media, paid search, paid social
Retail Media
- Growth rates are back up after Q4 appeared softer primarily due to unique circumstances in late 2020
- Amazon is still in the driver’s seat, but new retailers are helping drive spending growth
Paid Search
- The massive acceleration of paid search spend is starting to ease, resulting in slower YoY growth rates
- One big reason for the slowdown is that ad prices have stabilized over the last three quarters, particularly for non-branded keywords
Paid Social
- Overall spending growth continues to slow, which is generally accepted to be a result of IDFA disruption
- Spending on both video ads and shopping ads have outpaced overall social growth; both are areas where advertisers can operate within privacy constraints
