About James Daly

Editor, writer, and media entrepreneur with a proven record of launching, developing, expanding, and managing media properties. My work spans all aspects of strategy and growth, including print, online video, social media, mobile, audience engagement, and content partnerships. Extensive experience writing for and working directly with CEOs, SVPs, and other senior executives to create compelling tech and innovation stories as the content lead.I have a deep knowledge of creating brand voice identity, including understanding various audiences and targeting messaging accordingly. I enjoy commissioning, editing, writing, and business development, particularly in launching new ventures and building passionate audiences. I've led teams large and small to multiple awards and quantifiable success through a strategy built on teamwork, passion, fact-checking, intelligence, analytics, and audience growth while meeting budget goals and production deadlines in fast-paced environments. Ideas come from everywhere: scribbled on the back a napkin, brainstorming with others, SEO research, a suggestion from a social follower. I can pursue them all. An effective team player who can meet project deadlines with attention to detail in a matrix environment. Ability to plan and execute on multiple projects simultaneously in an organized fashion, with geographically dispersed teams. Demonstrated creative thinker, willing to take risks and try new things, and use compelling visual materials to tell stories. Journalism is the art of great story-telling. As a writer and editor, I have always sought to capture the drama, friction, joy, and pathos of a subject. The best mind is an open mind, so I specialize in asking questions and approaching a story without preconceptions.For relaxing, I enjoy long-distance biking and playing guitar.
