The Brazilian population casted their votes in municipal elections in October 2024. In advance of these elections, a debate between the leading candidates was held in São Paulo on August 8, 2024.
The live TV program from BAND broadcasting the debate was enhanced with a comprehensive live analysis of the most searched parties, candidates, and topics.

In this project for Google Trends and BAND, I was responsible for the display of the trends data visualizations. I revived the previous project, upgraded it to the newest data infrastructure and proper visual appearance as well as monitored during the live event.
Seeing the data visualizations you're responsible for displayed with real-time data from Google Trends on live television halfway around the world was definitely a memorable moment for me.
