Über diesen Titel

 I stand where editorial and brands meet. Where writing and society meet. Where thinking and people meet. Since I was 23, I've been known as the editor-in-chief of Brandingmag, an independent and global journal narrating the discussion around branding with insightful sources of thought leadership from the industry. It's a platform that I dedicated to long-form, educational content at a time when the world became obsessed with short attention spans, content templates, and engagement metrics. And guess what? It led to one of the most durable brand reputations I've ever seen. What many people are only now discovering is that I've been applying the same mindset and principles to some of the largest brands on the planet, consulting them on their own editorial strategies. I know and believe in the power of communications, in building legacy through language—and I'm not the only one. I launched Think Editorial out of a desire to share the brilliant conversations I have with people I'm privileged to meet. We're all communicating on a regular basis, and to probe that fact continues to bring me immense joy. Whether you focus on public relations, content strategy, marketing, or any other bridge between brand and audience, these dialogues will alter your thinking and your state for the better. In fact, any person (regardless of role or goal) can benefit from some solid editorial thinking, especially nowadays.
