Mother’s Day was created by Ann Jarvis, who, two years after her mother’s passing, began a campaign to establish the holiday on May 12, 1907. In Brazil, the holiday arrived a few years later, in 19

The world was already migrating to a digital revolution, where adaptation to new consumption parameters, interaction with data analysis were necessary, within a corporate Darwinism perspective (whoever adapts survives).
