  • Merchant Sues To Stop Yelp’s “Trustworthy” Review Claims
    A substantial number of local business owners are frustrated by (even resentful of) Yelp’s review filter.

  • Lifting The Veil On Audience Modeling: It’s Not Just Retargeting
    Over the past two years, I’ve been focused on applications of the remarketing toolset. Each time I have a conversation about my work, the response can be summarized by “Oh, you’re doing remarketing.” But I’m not remarketing. I’m building audiences.
