Just a small note to let customers know that back in August, Display Daily was acquired by our good friend and occasional Display Daily contributor Jon Peddie and his firm, Jon Peddie Research (JPR)
Over the last couple of years, we have been developing the site via the Display Insider service and it has been very gratifying to see the great loyalty of our subscribers in renewing their services and building our user base.
However, it was time to step up what we were doing and in July, Omid Rahmat joined JPR as an EVP. Like Jon, I have known Omid for many years – from back in his Spea Video 7 days, but, among other things, he was later CEO of Tom’s Hardware. Omid came on board with JPR to help boost and develop the publishing side of the JPR business just as I was looking to make some changes.
What does this mean for you?
Not a lot at the moment, but Omid’s team is working on moving the website to a new, more modern platform and he has a lot of ideas for developing the value that subscribers can get from the site. I hope that you haven’t spotted much change in the few weeks since the formal handover. I will be staying involved and remain Editor, although I am looking forward to a bigger team helping with what has been for the last couple of years, mostly a one person operation! (BR)
