Editor In Chief (Marketing & Creative Content)Canvas Digital Dec 2022 - Apr 2024Through a series of strategic actions and initiatives, I have transformed our content creation team into a well-oiled machine. Streamlining processes and implementing SEO best practices. By formulating written guidelines for various content types, including blogs, internal and external linking, and web copies, there is now much needed clarity and a set direction for the team. Bringing on board a capable team lead and hiring a senior editor have strengthened our editorial capabilities. By empowering my subordinates and decentralizing authority, I've fostered a culture of collaboration and accountability. Improvements in internal communication, including the creation of funnels for timely deliveries and maintaining thorough documentation, have enhanced efficiency. Regular team meetings and individualized attention to concerns ensure transparency and alignment. Introducing a monthly work evaluation mechanism and monetary incentives for top performers have driven excellence. Notably, we've significantly reduced web page revisions, consistently met deadlines, and increased daily output. Emphasizing both quality and quantity metrics, we've achieved substantial improvements in submission quality. Additionally, providing two work-from-home days weekly has alleviated stress and promoted work-life balance. These efforts have not only delivered content for over 150 in-house and client brands but also successfully managed online reputation for more than 80 brands (in-house and client), all while maintaining a collaborative and supportive team environment. -
