IDG Communications Appoints Brian Stoller as Chief Marketing Officer

IDG Communications, Inc. – the world’s leading tech media, data, and marketing services company – announces the appointment of Brian Stoller as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). An accomplished marketing, agency and martech executive, Stoller will lead IDG’s global data-driven marketing efforts as IDG continues to define the intersection of media and martech.

The marketing landscape is at an inflection point with the decline of cookies, rising value (and scarcity) of 1st party data, and growing list of martech solutions. IDG’s move to simplify marketing from engagement to sales activation with the launch of Popular Demand with Triblio was an important first step in defining a future martech roadmap. Stoller joins the company as IDG continues to transform marketing by bringing together trusted media brands, unmatched 1st party data, and a powerful account based marketing platform.
