Josh London is the chief marketing officer for IDG, the world’s largest tech media, data, and marketing services provider. In this podcast, he discusses what it takes to unify the brand for a worldwide company that reaches tech audiences in 97 countries, what he learned at an early internet startup in the ‘90s as well as during his time studying in Italy, and how authenticity is key when building a brand.
And he has this to say about marketing in a modern world: “When you’re devising a marketing strategy, especially on a global basis, it’s very exciting. We’re now living in a borderless world where customers travel across brands and across geographic borders. And a marketer wants to reach them wherever they can find them.”
