The Economist Group this month relaunches its advertorial site called Lean Back 2.0 -- and it's on the hunt for contributed content.

CIO is a tough nut to crack but less so if you've got some chops in social media and clients who can hook you up with front-line IT pros. Laurianne's biggest job: to differentiate CIO's coverage.
Can you help her?
