“Because we're always more woundable when caught at exactly the time where we're in the mood for that particular product or service - and as Big Data increasingly are able to pick up on clues revealing desire - automated systems are increasingly able to hit at exactly those moments, across those channels we move - with an offer matching exactly what we're desiring.” MomentsBigsAbleMovingDesireParticularProductsOffersPicksCaughtMoodDataClueRevealingMatching Author:Martin Lindstrom
