Introducing a Community of Innovators

Being a digital leader in a print-centric media company is hard. We are expected to be an expert in all things digital, while fully understanding the intricacies of the legacy business. We must invest smartly in disruptive, sometimes unproven technologies. We must be a champion for innovation and build a growth engine for the business.

As Chief Digital Officers, either in title or job description, it’s easy to feel isolated as we attempt to raise the profile of a business that some internal skeptics still see as unproven and full of risk.

Now, we have a place we can call home.

The Chief Digital Officer Council (CDO Council™) is an exclusive, invitation-only community whose members include the primary digital executives of magazine, newspaper and brand publishers. We bring together the strategic thought leaders who are driving innovation in media companies transitioning from print to digital business models. We provide a forum for fresh ideas and frank discussion about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for an industry that is evolving at breakneck pace.

What We Do

Members who actively participate in the CDO Council will receive multiple benefits, including:

Best practice exchange: Through live and virtual events and a secure digital community, CDO members can share their experiences with other members, gaining important insights into how others are tackling common challenges and growing their digital businesses.

Proprietary research: With an agenda driven by members, CDO Council research will dig past the hype to uncover fresh insights around hot trends such as tablet publishing and social media.

Access to expertise: Need advice on the best CMS to use? How to build a cross-platform editorial team? Whether to launch a private ad exchange? We’ll connect you to the right people and resources to get the answers you need, quickly.
