I also see this ad repeatedly. It doesn't bother me at all, but I thought I should comment in case it helps making your campaign more effective.

Just to show you how much it shows up: my WIFE already recognizes it, just from hearing it when I'm working by her side.

I'm sure retargeting works in some context, but I'm guessing you are overdoing it in some cases. (I'm in Brazil, but I browse mostly in English. Maybe it makes me a particular case?).

Re-targeting short term increase in profits, long term increase in irritation and ad-blindness.

Probably the #1 cause for people to install ad-blockers.

@jacquesm - totally agree - retargetting is the sole reason I installed Ad-Block.
