Has this happened to you recently? You casually view a product on the web and within minutes see an ad for it in your social media feed.
You google a phrase and in your next search get retargeted with offers relevant to your last search.
Big Tech follow us wherever we go. It knows so much about us.

Resonate

Separate
Given two similar choices, we will always choose the one with the better story.
