In this episode, Heather sits down with Brian Weaver, the innovative mind behind Chronicle, MEDQOR's proprietary data platform that is redefining how B2B media companies deliver performance and prove ROI.

Brian shares the story of acquiring MEDQOR in 2009—then a traditional print publisher—and turning it into a data-powered marketing engine that delivers buyer intelligence, real-time leads, and measurable outcomes. He pulls back the curtain on how Chronicle combines AI, CRM integration, and predictive analytics to create a completely new value proposition for healthcare marketers—and how it’s scalable across verticals.

This is a masterclass for any media, events, or B2B leader looking to move beyond impressions and into the era of performance-proofed media.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why media companies need to evolve from content sellers to strategic growth partners
  • How Chronicle turns passive media engagement into revenue-driving buyer signals
  • What it takes to build proprietary platforms that deliver guaranteed performance
  • The power of first-party data in transforming advertiser relationships and revenue models
  • Why today’s marketers demand proof—and how media companies can rise to meet it
