About Brian Truman
Brian Truman is a revenue and measurement strategist with over a decade of leadership experience at the intersection of gaming and ad tech. He has held Vice President roles at GSN Games and Scopely, where he owned all digital ad revenue for GSN Games before its acquisition by Scopely in a deal reportedly valued at approximately $1 billion.
Today, Brian advises publishers, platforms, and startups on unlocking growth through smarter use of data, with a focus on ad monetization optimization, measurement modernization, and product strategy. His work spans the full revenue stack: programmatic infrastructure, real-time bidding, demand-side platforms, and performance measurement.
Most recently, Brian founded Turn Sideways Media and acquired a portfolio of media assets serving the Magic: The Gathering community - including Draftsim.com, one of the hobby's most popular websites. The venture reflects his belief that the same data-driven discipline that drives growth in mobile gaming translates directly to niche media and enthusiast communities.
