FIPP

From 2016-2020, I worked with FIPP – the network for global media, as its Americas Correspondent, covering North, South and Central American magazine media companies. My features were shared on FIPP.com, FIPP’s weekly newsletter FIPPWorld, and on the Digital Innovators Summit website.

I wrote about business models, monetisation, revenue, strategies, content, audience engagement, innovation and transformation, and developing storytelling and tech trends.

My role was to share knowledge, guidance and best practices, and provide information and intelligence to help FIPP’s audience improve their work and businesses.
