CJ&N Founder Northcott Announces Retirement

CJ&N Inc. founder and industry leader Bruce Northcott is retiring from day-to-day operations of the company, effective this month. Des Moines, Iowa-based CJ&N is a local TV and media market research and consultation firm.

“Bruce has worked tirelessly to build CJ&N since day one, and he continues that effort even today,” said CJ&N President John Altenbern. “We congratulate Bruce on his decision to enter a new phase of his life where he has more time to enjoy himself and his family. It is richly deserved.”

Northcott was one of the founders of CJ&N in 1998. Prior to that, he was president of Frank N. Magid Associates, where he spent 20 years.

Northcott will continue to serve on the CJ&N board of directors, and will be available to the company as a strategic adviser going forward. He will also be occasionally involved with client strategy and research discussions on a selective basis.

“We’re thrilled that we will still be able to draw on Bruce’s experience and advice as the company moves forward,” said CJ&N principal Jill Johnson. “He will continue to be an extremely valuable asset to CJ&N,” she said.
