• Turn panel discussions and event content into engaging standalone articles and identify opportunities to repurpose material across other channels.
• Develop and edit scripts for videos, working with subject-matter experts, compliance and production teams.
• Write engaging social copy and identify opportunities to promote articles, events, awards, colleagues and topical content.
• Respond quickly to geopolitical events, working with experts to produce timely, accessible commentary across multiple channels.
