Current logistical problems could be resolved through adding a little bit of organization / complexity to the excel for workflow between Maureen and process flow.
Other items were having to do with:
Getting trench writers in
Providing more complexity to image library to reduce required internal work and decision
Maureen having a deputy/asset level equivalent
Items where complexity would become involved are systemizing the horizontal workflow of story iterations.
Implementing HootSuite to maximum potential, benchmarking; and posting on time tiers to eliminate redundancy where page posting may be inefficient due to fan redundancy, etc
For lists, assuming the 40% reduction is as projected; and assuming no improvement to RTK status, should still get to a satisfactory margin.
Yes - just wrapped with him. I told him we were doing quite a bit lately that had a more neutral tone or point / counterpoint approach. This seemed important to him for reasons you mentioned. I think if we were not doing any of that, he's probably not interested. I also told him his name didn't need to be attached to all content - that seemed to help also.
I'll get him connected to Maureen. He's not available though until Monday.
Hi Alec - I have a call that starts in about 15 minutes, but would like tp chat briefly and then have you chat with Maureen, our Cheif editor. Will call you in a minute.
Background in sports writing & political science Political orientation: Liberal Writing speed: 2 articles/HR Pricing preference: per word (AVG's to $25/hr) Work background: Teacher (ESL), freelancer Name: Alec Pronk WhatsApp phone # = 303-501-0693 Available now for a few minutes.
