Targeting & Mass#
I’m not a great believer in targeting. Our target is about seven billion people sitting on this planet. Our task is to reach as many people as we can; to get them to notice us and remember us; to nudge them; and, hopefully, get them to buy us once more this year.
Bruce McColl

We targeted too much, and we went too narrow, and now we’re looking at what is the best way to get the most reach but also the right precision?
