Editor | POPSUGAR
Popsugar is the world’s leading female lifestyle brand, reaching 300 million people every month. In my role as editor, I was based in Popsugar’s London office, creating, commissioning and editing SEO-optimised, clickable lifestyle content for both the UK and US markets. I primarily worked on the entertainment, health and fitness, and beauty verticals, producing a combination of service-driven articles and long-form features and op-eds.
A key part of my role was establishing relationships between Popsugar and key brands, artists, and studios in the entertainment industry in the UK. This was to facilitate talent interviews, set visits, and organise advanced screeners to ensure timely editorial coverage.
