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'
