@audreywatters OEB MidSummit 2017

None
“Rugged individualism” and American ideology
None
Personalization: A wide variety of organizations use personalization to improve
customer satisfaction, digital sales conversion, marketing results, branding, and improved website metrics, as well as for advertising — Wikipedia
