One of our clients has many sites on anything astrological related. (tarot cards, horoscopes etc..). High degree of personalization, I mean, people get mad if they don’t get their horoscope before they go to work. But with such active engagement, how do you possibly apply that to timezones around the world, device experiences and then personalize while still monetizing advertising in those messages? YOU didn’t know I had things in common with Jennifer Garner did you? (laugh) Net is, this brand fetches content and feeds up to 100 variants at the time of send. Add Justin and Liveclicker to this and you can serve all or parts of the content on-demand at open. It changes how you think about the experience .
