Black Friday: The Data Drops That Matter

‍Forget flashy banners and frenzied queues. This snapshot zooms out to show the bigger picture of Black Friday in 2023. What drove the conversation (and what didn’t), who showed up early, who made the most noise, and how brands outside of retail joined the hype.

‍

Backed by Brandwatch data and YOUKNOW insights, this is the intel marketers, retailers, and strategists need to rethink next year’s playbook. Because if you're planning 2024 without looking back at 2023… that's a red flag bigger than a Black Friday discount sign.
