Shopping like a human & the quiet rise of Conversational Commerce

Conversational commerce is reshaping how people discover and buy online. From Bloomreach’s Clarity module to OpenAI’s new ChatGPT apps, a more human form of shopping is quietly emerging, one built on dialogue, not dashboards.

How far marketers went before privacy caught up... back in 2008!

It was a video titled “Kids Games Too Disturbing For Kids” which included a piece on a sinister game from 2008 called Hotel 626.

He laughed at the grainy graphics and theatrical jump scares. Don’t judge him, he was born in 2013 and never experienced graphics like we did. I sat there thinking, this was the kind of lead magnet marketers could
