Foundry is a global provider of media, events, marketing technology, and B2B intent data, focused primarily on technology buyers and vendors. Formerly known as IDG Communications, the company rebranded as Foundry in 2022 to reflect its transformation from a legacy tech publisher into an integrated martech and data business. Through brands like CIO, CSO, Computerworld, InfoWorld, Macworld, PCWorld and many others, Foundry reaches tens of millions of IT decision-makers and influencers worldwide and uses this engagement to power data-driven marketing solutions.
At the heart of Foundry’s martech stack are its ABM and intent products—Foundry ABM (formerly Triblio) and Foundry Intent. Foundry ABM provides an account-based orchestration platform that unifies account targeting, advertising, web personalization, and sales activation in a single system. Foundry Intent aggregates multi-source behavioral signals across Foundry’s owned media, events, the public web, and partner data to surface which companies and contacts are actively researching specific technology topics and solutions.
Between 2020 and 2022, Foundry acquired several martech and data companies—Triblio, KickFire, LeadSift, and Selling Simplified—to build an end‑to‑end platform for B2B marketing, from data to activation to measurement. These capabilities are tightly integrated with Foundry’s large-scale, fully consented first‑party audience generated through its editorial brands and 800+ annual events, giving technology marketers an uncommon combination of reach, data depth, and activation options across the funnel.
Founded in 1964 as part of International Data Group (IDG), Foundry today operates in more than 140 countries and employs over 1,400 people globally. In March 2025, IDG completed the sale of Foundry to private equity firm Regent LP, positioning the business for its next phase of growth as a standalone media and marketing technology company serving B2B tech marketers around the world.
