Insights

“Most personalization in e-commerce is invisible – it happens in the background and the customer never really knows why they’re seeing what they’re seeing. I want to flip that and be explicit, because you bought this, here’s what pairs with it. And actually remember what’s already in our customers closet. That kind of intentional personalization is still mostly unbuilt across the industry, and it’s where I think the next real gains are.”
