Some people don't like simple remarketing, but I do. It's not so bad that Bonobos reminds me to buy pants from them every once and awhile... I like their pants ;)
And I'm not sure of the brand effect display ads have had on me but I know I'd rather see something relevant to business, finance, or tech, as opposed to feminine products or entertainment magazines.
Yes, I'm speaking the advertising industry party line, but I do kind of agree with it.
