the world has changed
How we consume media is rapidly
changing too …
The amount of data we process daily is
increasing



          We turn to our friends
                 to filter
            this information

                           Friends

                       Friends´interests
The web is being rebuilt around people.




           No advertising has
          more impact than the
          opinion of friends and
                  family
