CHICAGO — EnsembleIQ (EIQ), North America's leading source of actionable intelligence in retail, retail technology, consumer goods, healthcare and hospitality, promoted Joe Territo to executive vice president of content and communications.

In his new role, Territo is responsible for communications strategy and execution, including public relations and marketing. He will continue leading collaboration among EIQ brands and shared services teams to develop new and innovative products and content optimization practices, resulting in audience engagement growth helping customers to connect with business professionals.

Before joining the company, Territo served as chief content officer of business information services provider Penton, playing a leading role in the company's digital transformation prior to it being acquired by Informa for $1.6 billion. Territo's prior experiences include serving as vice president of content at the Newhouse family's Advance Local and executive producer at Time Inc. new media, where he managed design and production of digital content with Time, Money, Fortune, Sports Illustrated and People.
