And nowhere are we seeing companies making privacy choices as clear and as easy as they need to be. The Near Memo is a weekly conversation about Search, Social, and Commerce: What happened, why it matters, and the implications for local businesses and national brands.Near Memo Ep 26Subscribe to our newsletters and other content at https://www.nearmedia.co/subscribe/
