CHICAGO, October 28, 2019–EnsembleIQ Chief Executive Officer Jennifer Litterick today announced the following appointments, strengthening the company’s leadership team to align with a new vision and mission.

Tanner is uniquely qualified to take on this role, given the depth and breadth of her experience across EnsembleIQ, as well as her demonstrated creativity, strategic thinking and leadership skills. Tanner will retain  her role as Chief Innovation Officer, as there is no better place to infuse innovation than in The Path to Purchase Institute. The “path to purchase” is truly the one area that binds all EnsembleIQ brands together; helping leaders understand the  complexity of the evolving path to purchase–and how it impacts the future of commerce is critical to all of our brands and  should underpin and infuse our content and strategy across the entire portfolio. In her new role, she will oversee the  Institute, research and marketing.

In this new role, Joe will oversee content strategy and new product development for all of EnsembleIQ’s  brands across the grocery, convenience, health and wellness, path to purchase and technology sectors on all platforms–including digital, events, and print. Joe  will create and launch a connected content strategy, expand our digital footprint,  and provide content marketing direction to increase our value. Joe will partner with the editors to create requirements, processes, and training to elevate our content and audience engagement. Responding to the rapidly evolving needs of  EnsembleIQ’s brands, Joe will function as a content innovator, working closely with the leadership team to ensure that our  content and audience strategy aligns with the needs of the marketplace. He will mentor our leaders and ensure our talent,  performance and strategy works to grow the overall business.

Joe brings to EnsembleIQ more than two decades of cross-functional business-to-business and consumer content and  digital leadership experience. His career has consistently focused on digital transformation and growth, by seizing  emerging market opportunities, deploying relevant technologies, and analyzing competition to set and achieve ambitious,  mission-critical goals. He previously served as Chief Content Officer at NewBay (prior to its acquisition by Future plc), and Penton (prior to acquisition by Informa). He also provided consulting services to Bobit Business Media, Hanley Wood and  Northstar Travel Media.
