The economic fallout of the pandemic resulted in the mass exodus of workers across America last year. This movement, now coined as \u2018The Great Resignation, has been captured in the GMI ( Warc’s Global Marketing Index) as staffing levels in the Americas have consistently outperformed Europe and APAC in 2021.

However, the movement is not limited to the Americas as staffing levels in both Europe and APAC have seen an increased rate of growth in Q4. From August onwards, global staffing levels have seen the highest rates of growth since the inception of the Global Marketing Index in 2011, with November and December at 65.3 (the highest index value).

Consequently, this is likely to remain a challenge in 2022 as regions battle with factors such as Brexit, work life balance and the worker employer relationship. This is one of the main conclussions of Warc’s \u201cGlobal Marketing Index: A review of 2021\u201d report, published today.

Summing up the outcomes of the study, Zoe McCready, Senior Research Executive, WARC, says: \u00abThe Global Marketing Index 2021 shows a consistent overall increase in growth throughout the year, which culminated in November recording the highest Global Headline Index value since the inception of the report in 2011.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis reflects an industry that is largely weathering the impact of the pandemic as it rapidly adjusts to new trading conditions which point to the ongoing strength of digital and mobile channels driven by the continued rise of e-commerce. Increased staffing levels recorded globally make up for the impact of the Great Resignation, however, this could present productivity challenges in 2022, especially in the Americas, due to factors such as skills shortages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two other main conclussions from Warc’s GMI report<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Highlighting a remarkable year of recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, WARC\u2019s GMI review of 2021 report shows:

1.- Recovery maintained in 2021<\/span><\/strong>

Over the last 12 months, growth has been maintained across all key indices globally and regionally, signalling that despite the twists and turns of 2021, key successes such as vaccine programmes across the world have helped markets set themselves up to live with COVID rather than despite it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

The recovery is led by Digital, Mobile, TV and Out-of-Home, with the latter coming back into growth in 2021 following the lifting of restrictions.
This is supported by further analysis from WARC Data, which show a 23.8% resurgence in marketing budgets across channels in 2021, valued at $771bn, with digital and mobile media up (41.9%), OTT video (41.6%) and search (39.4%). TV is up by 5.5% from last year and OOH up by 21.8%.

2.- But Zero-COVID strategy showed disruptive to growth last year<\/span><\/strong>

Although key indices in APAC, Europe and the Americas remain in growth, it is a tale of two halves. APAC markets, which have operated a zero COVID strategy, saw decreased rates of growth in the summer, in line with restrictions being imposed, contrasting to markets in Europe and the Americas which decided to live with the virus and consequently saw the highest rates of growth in the same period.
Despite this, markets in APAC have since recovered with marketing budgets and trading conditions showing a higher level of growth compared to Europe and the Americas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
