Welcome to content marketing’s alt-weekly.
If you enjoy working in content marketing, but could still do with about 75% less of the corporate bullshit that comes with it, we made Managing Editor for you.
We’re a home for the changemakers, culture creators, leaders, disruptors, innovators and mavericks in brand journalism and content marketing.
And, no, we don’t care about your email newsletter best practices.
We do want to hear about how you felt when you realized you had written 250,000 words about employment assessments in two years under someone else’s name. But could never find time to write your own book.
Or how you explain your job to your parents, who still think you “work at the newspaper.”
We’d also love to hear about the special Spotify playlist you’ve created for those days you have to navigate the minefield of that one special SME’s “white papers.”
Managing Editor is nurtured and loved by the team at Rep Cap, a B2B content marketing agency that provides content marketing for progressive professional services firms and consultants.
We welcome contributions from content marketers who have something interesting to say about our emerging profession. We like profiles of creative people who like shaking things up, contrary perspectives, and poking holes in anything that “everybody knows.”
We do not like "syndicated" content, backlink schemes or tired-ass listicles.
Most articles on Managing Editor run from 750 to 1,500 words, but if you’re on a roll and you’re not boring, we won’t cut you off.
You may recommend (or pan) specific vendors, but you must disclose any business relationship you have with the company in question. Or their competitors.
