The Campaign

Google Year in Search is a breakthrough film telling the story of 2014 through the trillions of searches made around the world. More than a wrap up of the year, ‘Year In Search’ was a totally data driven narrative, exploring our burning questions and heartfelt reactions to big events and the minutiae of our everyday lives, giving to give one of the most genuine perspectives of our world today. We crunched millions of lines of data to uncover the human insights hidden within Google search and turned big data into an even bigger story. It turns out that the things that we search out for say a lot about us… We searched for science more than fiction, hope more than fear and we asked ‘how’ more than ‘why.’ From the purest questions, like ‘what is love?’, to our reactions to global tragedies, like Flight MH370, this film was a revealing look at humanity and a snapshot of the times we’re living in.
