Our audience, your target
If you look at the top of any company’s IT organizational chart, you will find the audience that CIO targets. They are the technology leaders within their organizations: the chief information officer and other senior tech executives who influence or direct technology buying decisions within their companies.
Information technology has moved from a supporting role to one that drives the business forward to score a competitive difference in the market. CIOs are the conduit for the translation of business strategy to technology value – and results. They’re reporting to the top (46% report to the CEO), staying in their position longer and longer (average tenure is 5 years 6 months) and focusing more on business strategy (65% hope to spend more time on strategic activities in the next 3-5 years).
Our brand focus
CIO provides leadership-oriented, relevant and timely insight into the business challenges that are top-of-mind for forward-thinking technology executives. With executive events that bring the C-level technology community together, research that dives deep into the role of tech decision-makers, their priorities and challenges, marketing services that allow our partners to provide tailored educational content, and much more – CIO provides invaluable resources to business technology leaders and a platform for technology solution providers to effectively educate and engage these key decision-makers.
