Viacom, which is emphasizing its data capabilities, says Bryson Gordon is being promoted to executive VP, data strategy.
In his new role, Gordon, who had been senior VP, will oversee Viacom’s marketing and partner insights group as well as Viacom’s integrated marketing and social products.
He will also lead investment in Viacom’s data platform leadership through strategic data and industry partnerships.

Gordon joined Viacom a year ago and aggressively accelerated innovation and product capabilities within Viacom Vantage, Viacom’s industry-leading targeting product. Under his guidance, Vantage’s portfolio expanded to include new offerings, including Vantage Instant Audiences, Vantage Target Discovery and Vantage Studio Edition. In addition, the Data Strategy team broke new ground by developing products for social and integrated marketing campaigns, including ViewPrint and Viacom EchoSystem 3.0.
