  • Own It: Take ownership of the digital editorial strategy, bringing fresh ideas and making a real impact on audience growth.
  • Keep It Simple: Turn creative ideas and audience insights into clear, engaging content that connects with our audiences.
  • Better Together: Work with talented people across digital, broadcast, video and commercial teams to create brilliant content

  • Built strong relationships and created a supportive, collaborative culture across the Smooth and Gold digital team.
  • Established a clear video strategy, with a strong focus on longform YouTube and shortform social content.
  • Developed an engaging editorial plan that reflects the identity of Smooth, its sister stations and Gold.
  • Built strong partnerships with our on-air teams, creating content that connects broadcast and digital audiences.
  • Used audience insights and performance data to identify opportunities for growth and improve content across platforms.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
