“Having spent over a decade at Forbes I’ve lived the evolution of content marketing. When I first saw inPowered’s AI and the results they are delivering for big brands I couldn’t help but want to spread the word. They have very quietly built the AI platform for content marketing and I couldn’t be more excited to help introduce our SaaS offering to brands, agencies and publishers,” said Ann Marinovich, CRO, inPowered.

“We know that display advertising started with publishers and networks, eventually becoming programmatic. Over the past year we’ve seen a similar evolution in native content with clients asking for AI to solve their biggest content marketing challenges to deliver engagement and ROI. We couldn’t be more excited to have someone as passionate and experienced about content to lead our next phase of growth,” said Pirouz Nilforoush, President, inPowered.
