Are you under the influence?

Next time you buy a product or use a service, ask yourself how you heard about it, why you want it, and how did you select it over a competitor. In the age of data-driven decisions, companies have gotten better than ever at understanding consumer preferences.

Using data, companies are able to nudge you towards personalized recommendations, complementary products, and deeper engagement.

Targeting specific personas and users and inspiring a cult following with very focused products is possible with deep understanding of consumer behavior.

The brim of McCree’s hat just barely lifted as his eyes drifted slowly from the TV on the wall to the woman standing over the sofa.

It had only been a week or so since Talon had picked El up- he was incredibly lucky they had gotten to him before the authorities did, really- and Dr O’Deorain had been tasked with showing him the medical facilities.

They seemed liked polar opposites: he was sloppy where she was precise, she was all angles and sharp edges whereas he was…not. And yet, to quote Casablanca, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

If only El hadn’t make such an ass of himself.

It wasn’t his fault, really, that his ridiculously long coat had gotten hooked onto the door handle. If anything, he thought Talon would appreciate his commitment to his dark and mysterious aesthetic (read: a trenchcoat bought second-hand). Nevertheless, the two of them were, in fact, trapped in a small supply closet.
