Adweek's Most Popular Online Stories of 2020
 
 

Here's a little look inside publishing. We use Parse.ly to track our traffic in real-time and that data can often tell interesting stories. For instance, we can tell when ads air on broadcast TV. Our story about Discover's Super Bowl ad would spike every night for months. Why? People would search for the ad when it ran during a highly watched event.

Anyways...every year we reveal the most-read stories on Adweek.com. Some you'd expect (hello, Moldy Whopper, our old friend) and some you may not expect (a first person account of working at Costco during a pandemic). Also, some are x-rated (the story itself is SFW).

See the full list of most-read stories on Adweek this year.
