» Robert Thalman, Founder, President, and CEO
Over the past twenty-seven years, Robert has been fortunate to gain both critical knowledge and hands-on management experience in senior-level positions in the multichannel television and Internet industries. As VP Marketing for Turner Network Sales from 1986-1990, Robert successfully integrated the key components of strategic marketing to establish what became recognized as one of the top affiliate marketing teams in the cable industry. Following this experience, Robert worked to apply many of his earlier experiences to help with the development of new markets for Turner International.
As Corporate SVP of Strategic Marketing for Turner International from 1991-1996, Robert oversaw the design and development of strategic marketing programs that supported the distribution of the Turner programming networks throughout Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
His decision to leave Turner at the end of 1996 was primarily driven by his interest for gaining experience in the emerging Internet industry. Robert joined Icon CMT, a tier-one Internet ISP as SVP Strategic Marketing. The Internet Company was acquired by Qwest Communications in January, 1999.
At Qwest, Robert was asked to join a Business Development team that was charged with developing a plan for creating a new business unit focused on the production, distribution, and storage of Digital Media. As VP Digital Sports for Qwest Digital Media from 1999-2001, Robert worked primarily on the design, marketing, and sales of video streaming applications to the major professional sports leagues.
In 2002, Robert returned to the Media industry as a consultant for several major Cable MSOs and focused on research and analysis of emerging video technologies. As EVP Strategic Marketing and Business Development for Event Networks from 2003-2004, Robert created a suite of proprietary, online resource tools for delivering competitive intelligence to major cable MSOs.
He acquired this business from Event in March, 2005 and founded One Touch Intelligence LLC., which today has grown to become the leading provider of market intelligence support for companies in the communications industry.
