My background in Philosophy allowed me to think critically and see that there are opportunities. My innovative idea was two fold: 1) Inferences - among keywords, there are certain keywords that give insight into the user's needs (past, present, future). 2) More advanced filtering methods (powered by A.I.) can eliminate less desirable Ads, thus improving user experience (UX), improved ROI for the advertisers (businesses), and ultimately more revenue for Google via AdWords advertising.This trifecta of filtering had been attempted (in theory) by other tech companies. However, my research lead me to conclude that the reason for their failure was lack of infrastructure and scalability. Also, my Philosophy training allowed me to critically analyze the "Filter Trifecta" to see if there are any logical inconsistencies or disconnect within the Digital Supply Chain Management. Upon my discovery that all of the stars aligned, I ran with it.It turns out, my research was 100% in line with the direction of Google. After that, Googlers called me the "KimKong" of Digital Advertising - referencing my rapid rise to the TOP. Show less
