Meet a transformational data publisher, Steve Davis
Steve Davis, President, SRDS Inc.
Though a 20 year veteran of the media and marketing industry, Steve does not believe in resting on his laurels. So who better to chart the progress of SRDS since we awarded it a Model of Excellence in 2004? Back then we hailed the company as a leader in infocommerce for its Media Planning Service, which firmly placed the company in the middle of its customers’ workflow.
What we found especially noteworthy was the amount of innovation coming from a 90+ year old company. Four years later it was acquired by Kantar Media, and Steve became responsible for integrating the business and continuing its transformation. Given where the company is today, he’s done a stellar job. Now President, he’s particularly excited by the opportunity in tablets. Magazines, he says, are now on the right side of technology because their content is a perfect for this new medium. In the Excellence Revisited session, Steve will tell us where SRDS is headed and what transformative data publishers should focus on now.
“I find it ironic that those of us with successful information businesses, who can most afford to test and experiment new approaches, are usually the most hesitant to try. We all know it’s dangerous to assume that what has worked in the past will work well in the future; yet too often we let our pre-existing business model calcify our innovation.”
