Just touched down in Vegas for NFL season kickoff  🏈

We are excited to be the first advertiser on the Sphere to celebrate that NFL Sunday Ticket is now on YouTube and YouTube TV. In my 25+ year career in marketing, I never thought I would advertise on a giant sphere, but here we are! It is a testament to the power of marketing to reach people in new and exciting ways!

Tons of teams made this possible, and huge thanks to Sphere Entertainment Co. and the National Football League (NFL) for their partnership.

2023 has been quite the year: Google turned 25, and I was lucky enough to celebrate my 20th Googleversary! I am so grateful for my two decades at such an extraordinary place, and I am especially grateful for this past year, which has been one of the most exciting yet.

2023 was definitely the year of #AI, and we are just at the beginning of one of the most profound technological shifts we will see in our lifetimes. From Bard, to Duet AI, to Magic Editor in #Pixel, we are redefining how people spark creativity and get things done. Now with the launch of #GeminiAI, we’ll keep improving our own products while also opening up amazing new possibilities for businesses and developers across the world. I am so excited about all the ways that AI can help society too, from building greener cities with Project Green Light to helping doctors detect cancer earlier. This is only the beginning, and I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings.

There was so much work across the team to be proud of this year. Whether scoring touchdowns in our biggest YouTube campaign ever for Sunday Ticket, calling on people to #GetTheMessage, helping Gen Z find new ways to Search, or showing our customers a new way to Cloud, our goal is to always deliver the best of Google to others. And we had some fun telling stories in new ways, bringing our brand to life at the Las Vegas Sphere, condensing 25 years of Search into one beautiful spot, and bringing phones to life in #BestPhonesForever, just to name a few.

I could keep going on about all the great work I am proud of, but I’d exceed my character limit! So with that, I want to say a big thank you to my team and our partners who made 2023 possible. I have no doubt 2024 will bring even more possibilities. Here’s to the New Year! 🎉
