For the first time on the show, we talked about:
π Prioritizing requests.
π Developing and scoring authors.
π Smart intake processes from internal stakeholders.
Plus, she went hard on the live edit.
π¬ Here are some of our favorite quotable momentsπ¬
"Content is like the air that the marketing team breathes."
"[We're] basically coming to all of our stakeholders and looking for key themes across the org, or patterns and things that people are looking for...because you can't do everything."
"One of my priorities as an editor is not just to make the piece awesome, but it's also to make the writer feel more empowered next time that they're writing a piece."
Margaret also provided us with an amazing resource in this Airtable base, which acts as a rubric for scoring different aspects of an author's piece.
