  All the chiefly duties. If you see it in print or online, I had a hand in assigning it, editing it and/or ghost-writing it, fact-checking it, designing it and doing pretty much everything else associated with it to make it appealing to read, look at or click on. More specifically, here are a number of "I" statements that make me look really good: -I create and assign engaging, unique, and custom content for a nationally distributed print magazine and daily website -I edit, proofread, fact-check and format up to 900 articles and content pieces annually for print -I manage an international team of writers and photographers, as well as in-house interns and staff -I'm responsible for an increase in social media engagement of over 400% since May 2010 -I'm also responsible for an increase in web traffic of nearly 200% since spearheading a full site re-design and re-launch in June 2011 -I led an initiative to re-design our email newsletter, which in turn led to an 18% increase in open rate and 10% increase in click-through rate since inception -I'm chiefly responsible for a well-received re-design and update of the print magazine’s interior aesthetic -I design in-house ads and posters for events, concerts and festival co-promotions -I edit, color correct and format photographs for print and web -I engage events and festivals in co-promotions, sponsorships and ad trades to increase brand awareness Show less
