“Being so deeply involved in the success of digital publishers, we have had the pleasure of working with Grant on multiple occasions over the years.” Says STN Video CEO Matthew Watson. “We couldn’t be happier that he has brought his industry leading knowledge and expertise to STN Video to help all of our publishing partners thrive in a digital environment.”

Whitmore was an early client of STN Video at New York Daily News and Tribune Publishing, and is thrilled to be joining the team.

“Working with STN as a client partner for the past six years, I’ve seen how smart and determined this company is, all the while treating its employees and partners with respect and operating with the highest levels of integrity,” Whitmore said. “To be a part of such a vibrant organization that has demonstrated time and again its ability to create real value and opportunity for its partners while strengthening a broader media ecosystem with great content and consistent revenue delivery is something that I feel passionately about.”

While Whitmore has held executive leadership across a wide range of media operations, he has a particular passion for strategic growth and development, building opportunities through partnership, business line expansion, and revenue acceleration. In his role with STN Video, Whitmore will be working with the team to identify target companies to accelerate growth, assist in strategic publisher relationship management, while developing vertically integrated business opportunities.
