      Time out abu dhabi - deputy editor

      As a senior member of the editorial team some of my key responsibilities included generating content that can sit just as comfortably online as it does in print, as well as writing, editing, subbing and proof reading on topics as diverse as travel, lifestyle, art and culture, events, sports, local entertainment and more. I was also heavily involved in both page and cover design. I was expected to utilise my experience and team management skills to ensure our editorial values were always upheld along with our vision for the future of the brand including exploring marketing, PR, social media and advertising opportunities.
