With the goal of persuading people to spend at least three days in the city by driving them to content on SFTravel.com, Sojern first used its own technology to find the groups of people they wanted to reach. The platform wanted to find folks who had previously shown an interest in visiting San Francisco and were also interested in topics like food and holiday travel. "For example, using Sojern's historical data on search and booking trends, we found that users who were searching for travel around the Labor Day or... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
