Our new regular blog post offers a glimpse into the everyday roles of the team at GoldSand Digital. For our first post, we find out what life’s really like in an Editor’s role in the Content team.
7am
The alarm goes off, and as I gradually try to wake up I scroll through industry news and articles online.
8am
My daily battle with the Northern Line commences.
9am
After settling at my desk with a much-needed coffee, it’s time to catch up on any emails that have come in overnight and go over my workload so I can plan my day.
10am
Our whole team has a daily Production meeting, where we go through our ongoing projects and update each other on any developments. This can either be brief and smooth, or a very long meeting – depending on how our projects are going!
11am
A typical day’s work consists of writing content (be it blog posts, social media content, news articles, or features for one of our digital magazines), and subbing and editing content written by other members of the editorial team.
11.05am
A heated discussion breaks out over the choice of radio station for today…
12.30pm
A client has a query about some content that we’re creating for them, so we have a catch up over the phone.
1pm
Head down to the gym that we’re lucky enough to have in our building, then after a quick HIIT class have some lunch in our cafe.
2pm
Back to my desk for more writing. I’m researching a big feature at the moment, so I spend some time sourcing information online and conducting phone interviews with experts on the subject.
3pm
It’s time for our monthly Editorial meeting, when we take some time to sit down together and go over a recent campaign, dissecting the content and reflecting on what went well and what we could do differently next time.
4.30pm
Remember to water the office plants!
5pm
It’s Friday, which means it’s beer o’clock! The team has a drink together in the office before heading to one of our local East London pubs to unwind after another week of hard work.
Having recently taken up my role as Editor at GoldSand Digital, one of my favourite things about working here is the company culture – it’s a sociable and fun environment, and it’s hugely exciting to be part of an ambitious and growing business. Our relatively small size allows us the freedom to be innovative and creative, and every member of the team has the chance to make a real impact on the way we work.
