Style on the Hill

• Editor In Chief

  • Jan 2014 - Dec 2014

  Began my tenure at the culture magazine as a writer and worked my way up to content editor. Became editor-in-chief of the magazine after its previous editor suffered financial issues and depleted the staff. Took creative and editorial control and shouldered the burden of reviving the publication. Singularly kept the brand afloat by continuing to post original content to the website and controlling each of its social media channels. Remained the sole contributor to the publication for several months until hiring a 25-member staff to produce editorial content, coordinate events and execute marketing strategies. Created, edited and managed content for daily posts. Organized and styled photo shoots. Grew the brand audience on Twitter and Instagram by hundreds and nearly doubled the Facebook audience. Initiated and completed a multitude of projects, managed a large team with varying schedules, worked with peers respectfully while maintaining authority, and worked with high-profile sources and important local business leaders, all while upholding the brand vision and the duty to our audience.
