My responsibilities included drafting editorial content for media partners, writing press releases, and in the absence of the marketing manager (due to maternity leave), I handled a number of the marketing responsibilities too. I was involved with the planning, managing, and execution marketing campaigns that include reports, social media marketing, email marketing and webinars. I also maintained the relationships with media and trade partners, as well as other external parties.

During my time as editor, there were two significant extensions to the brand. Firstly, a new sister publication, MONDO | STADIA, which began life as a quarterly supplement under my leadership. When the magazine became a standalone title with its own editor, my role shifted to managing editor. Secondly, is the introduction of the mondo*dr Awards, launched in 2017, for which I was the driving force for its initial existence.

My role as editor - APAC followed on from the assistant editor position, with all the same duties involved, however, additional duties and responsibilities were added as part of the promotion.

I took up this role just one year after graduating from the University of Salford with a BA Hons in English with Journalism, and was quickly taken in by the world of B2B magazine publishing. The then editor was the only other editorial team member for the mondo*dr publication, so I was given a significant amount of responsibility from the very beginning.
