Jack Edmonston

After some false starts as a programmer and radio disk jockey, Jack found his way into publishing at IDG where he worked as marcomm manager for Computerworld. Over the next 17 years he helped the company grow from one publication in the United States to more than 100 around the world, including titles like PC World, Mac World and InfoWorld. Jack was president of IDG Marketing Services, working on circulation, subscription promotion, market research and marketing communications for many of IDG’s publications.

Jack left IDG in 1989, spent a short time at Cahners (Reed) Publishing working on publication acquisition and development and then went out on his own, consulting for a variety of publishing clients.
