Taking a Position with Aspire Media
Yes, it’s true … I am taking a position as Exec VP of eMedia for Aspire Media. In the six months since I left Penton, I have thoroughly enjoyed consuting with many great media companies–both B2B and consumer–and hopefully I’ve been instrumental in helping build their online media businesses. However, I have missed the operating side and being part of a great team. Aspire was one of the companies that I consulted with and while working with them I was very impressed by the vision of CEO Clay Hall, the quality of the investment team, the quality of the brands, and the talent and passion of everyone that I met there. Clay has also assembled an amazing, all-star management team that I am proud to be associated with. I’m also thrilled to be reuniting with TJ Harty, the VP of Technology at Aspire, who was my partner in crime at Penton and the driving force behind implementing most of the eMedia initiatives we developed there. Aspire is a company moving in the right direction with a lot of opportunities before it.
I will still be writing my blog here at eMediaStrategist.com and will be releasing the “Media Executive’s Guide to Rapidly Growing Online Traffic and Revenue” in November, but will no longer be doing any consulting for other media companies.
Stay tuned and please keep in touch!
