John Simons is a Partner at The Brunswick Group at Brunswick Group. He possess expertise in editorial, journalism, storytelling, editing, blogging and 22 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "John was my editor at International Business Times, and I can't say enough good things about working with him. As a manager, he sets a high bar and works with reporters on an individual basis to achieve their best. As an editor, John has a rare combination of killer news judgment and narrative sensibility. He pushes his reporters to make a case and prove it in every story, and he's there with an elegant, thoughtful edit once everything is on the page. One of my projects that he oversaw was finalist for a Livingston award and a Deadline Club award, and that is thanks to his guidance start-to-finish.", "John is an exceptional editor who has a natural ability to lead, inspiring those around him. I had the pleasure of working with him for a year at International Business Times, collaborating on several in-depth, financial stories. Not only is John skilled at his craft, he--most notably--has a unique ability to motivate a team by investing time in their development. It's one thing to be great at your craft. But it's another to have the leadership ability to help colleagues excel along the way. And that's exactly what John does. He took the time to outline goals for every single one of his reporters to help them grow as journalists. I was also particularly impressed by his ability to turn fast-paced news into enterprise pieces effortlessly. There's no doubt in my mind the skill set I have now as a business journalist was due largely to his expertise and immense dedication to his team. I would jump at the opportunity to work with him again.", and "Reporters and publishers sometimes have conflicting ideas of what they need and want in an editor. John Simons is the rare editor who exceeds expectations on both sides. He knows how to make writing succeed (my traffic numbers under John's editing and leadership are by far the highest they've ever been). He has a unique talent for helping writers of all levels, from complete novices to award-winning investigative reporters, develop story ideas and structure pieces in a way that is both enjoyable to write and engaging for readers. John pushed me to pursue ambitious stories, yet also had a mysterious way of convincing me to meet deadlines that didn't seem possible. He's a great manager, and overall cool guy. If someone would let me write for John for the rest of my career, I'd sign up immediately."
