    Bizo, a startup offering to help online advertisers reach a business audience through services like retargeting, is launching a new website and weekly newsletter today called Digital Marketing Remix.

    In the press release announcing the site, CEO Russell Glass says his goal is to make Digital Marketing Remix “a must-read for all B2B marketers” by addressing “the top-of-mind questions marketers have about deploying the right balance of programs to reach and nurture the right audiences, and drive them through the funnel.”

    To do that, Bizo has hired Sean Callahan, the former executive editor of Crain Communications’ magazines BtoB and Media Business.
