Initially hired as an Online Content Producer for one of the world’s most recognisable brands, I was promoted to Homepage Editor soon after arrival in what became a record-breaking period for the site. On a daily basis I found and optimised great stories through both editorial judgement and analytics, making them irresistible to readers while adhering to the brand’s tone and style. This was across a wide range of subject areas.As a Homepage Editor I was also making the front section of the website as enticing as possible and monitoring CTR to make sure the most engaging stories were prominent.
