Editorial Experience
Abigail King worked as Head of Digital Content & Strategy at Bradt Guides, the world’s leading independent travel publisher.
She was responsible for commissioning and editing core pieces, as well as overseeing the digital output from the rest of the team.
“An expert eye”
Abigail brought a fresh and expert eye to Bradt’s website, newsletter and social media channels, and played a key role in driving forward the digital arm of the business.
She was unfailingly conscientious and dedicated, as well as being a popular member of the team, and I’d have no hesitation in recommending Abi’s work to other companies looking for assistance with their digital content and strategy.
