Use of DataCherryRoad Media founded in 2020 by CEO Jeremy Gulban is an American newspaper publisher based in Parsippany, New Jersey. The company specializes in rural community weekly publications.

DataStudy’s key strategy for growth was attention to its clients who asked CherryRoad Media for new solutions to support their organizations. Twenty years later, the company changed its name to CherryRoad Technologies.
