People also started focusing on relevance, not reach. The possibility to get the correct statistics is dominating the business since it there is always that reach for transparency.
We need to be able to get the correct statistics and get a good understanding in who has the highest conversionrate etc. The technological part in this is crucial. We want to be as transparent as possible.
