Director of Content and Communications
At Novelly, I had the pleasure of building a content and communications strategy from scratch. This included:
- Building a library of short stories, articles, narrative non-fiction, and poetry from established authors and youth writers, all of which represent the Novelly ethos of amplifying diverse voices.
- Leading a brand overhaul, from revisiting our mission and vision statements, to selecting brand imagery, to embarking on a website redesign.
- Developing a social media and email newsletter strategy, growing platforms by 10x.
