TechTarget, Inc. (doing business as Informa TechTarget) is an American company that offers data-driven marketing services to business-to-business technology vendors.[1]
TechTarget, Inc. was founded in 1999; it is headquartered in Newton, Massachusetts, with offices in London, Munich, Paris, San Francisco, Singapore and Sydney.
TechTarget was founded in 1999 by Greg Strakosch and Don Hawk as a spin-off of United Communications Group (UCG), the owner of Oil Price Information Service. In 2001, the company was recognized by B2B magazine on their Media Power 50 list.[2] In 2005, AdAge named CEO Greg Strakosch a Top 25 Newsmaker.[3]
In 2016, TechTarget named Michael Cotoia as CEO and board member, and elected Greg Stakosch as executive chairman.[4] The company had an initial public offering in May 2007, being listed on the NASDAQ exchange with the symbol TTGT.[5]
As of 2025, TechTarget's board of directors is chaired by Mary McDowell, an American technology executive.[6]
Since launch, the company has made several acquisitions aimed at building its technology content reach:
The company launched its current purchase intent data services (IT Deal Alert) for technology vendors in 2014; the company has since added to the portfolio with a product called Priority Engine.[14] In 2020, TechTarget acquired the technology webinar company BrightTALK.[15] In late 2020, the firm also announced the acquisition of IT analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group.[16] In 2021, TechTarget announced the acquisition of Xtelligent Healthcare Media, a marketing services, media, and data company.[17]
TechTarget announced in 2024 that it would merge with the digital business of Informa's Informa Tech division. The resulting company would retain the TechTarget name; Informa would hold a 57% stake in the merged company, and existing TechTarget shareholders would hold a 43% stake.[18][19] The CEO of Informa Tech, Gary Nugent, would serve as CEO for the merged company.
The planned merger was completed in December 2024, with the resulting company being known as Informa TechTarget.[20]

A central processing unit (CPU), also known as a central processor, main processor, or simply processor, is the primary processor in a given computer. Its electronic circuitry executes instructions of a computer program, such as arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations. This role contrasts with that of external components, such as main memory and I/O circuitry, and specialized coprocessors such as graphics processing units (GPUs). The form, design, and implementation of CPUs have changed over time, but their fundamental operation remains almost unchanged. Principal components of a CPU include the arithmetic–logic unit (ALU) that performs arithmetic and logic operations, processor registers that supply operands to the ALU and store the results of ALU operations, and a control unit that orchestrates the fetching (from memory), decoding and execution (of instructions) by directing the coordinated operations of the ALU, registers, and other components. Modern CPUs devote a lot of semiconductor area to caches and instruction-level parallelism to increase performance and to CPU modes to support operating systems and virtualization. Most modern CPUs are implemented on integrated circuit (IC) microprocessors, with one or more CPUs on a single IC chip. Microprocessor chips with multiple CPUs are called multi-core processors (MCPs). The individual physical CPUs, called processor cores, can also be multithreaded to support CPU-level multithreading. An IC that contains a CPU may also contain memory, peripheral interfaces, and other components of a computer; such integrated devices are variously called microcontrollers or systems on chip (SoCs).
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
