SENIOR content EDITOR
An award-winning, commercially-minded Editor with more than a decade’s experience across digital and print within the fashion and beauty industry. I am highly proficient at both implementing and adapting content strategy across platforms and categories, alongside the management responsibilities of leadership and effective budgeting. Extremely detailed-orientated, I perform particularly well to deadlines and am an expert in content optimization, helping to evaluate, evolve and harness brand identity consistently across platforms.
I believe that authentic, engaging content is the first step in building brand loyalty and better understanding an audience in real-time - as well as ensuring that clever, prescriptive ideas cut through all the noise. Brand communication is a role I feel tremendously passionate about and I pride myself on creating engaging and innovative content that effectively bridges the gap between commercial and consumer. Most recently I was Editor-in-Chief of Look magazine and Look.co.uk where I ran multi-faceted campaigns, deciding everything from corporate communications and strategic marketing to creative media, distribution, brand ownership, and team management across social, digital and print.
