Quotes:
(8:20-8:34) “Expansion is one of the ways in which we try to conquer this seasonality problem. It also helps with acquiring books in different languages and expanding our inventory, and therefore, our customer base.”
(11.48-12.16) “We have experimented with AI for some of the ad texts for the tone of voice that we are using in order to see how can we try a different communication approach, and AI comes in very handy, especially if you have limited capacity or limited resources to produce as many creatives as possible.”
