Editorial Consultant
Expert editorial guidance, working alongside your team.
As your Editorial Consultant, I work alongside your team regularly - in their editorial meetings, across their content, inside their creative process. Designed for teams and individual content creators who are capable and committed but have never had a senior editor in the room pushing their work further, raising the bar and helping them see what great actually looks like.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE
Coaching your team to raise the bar on their own work, with ownership staying with them. Shaped around what your team needs most, that can include:
Goal-setting session to establish where you are and what we are working toward
Fortnightly editorial meetings: workshopping ideas and giving direct feedback
Content reviews across your priority channels with feedback tailored to each format
1:1 sessions with content creators and team leads as needed
Workflow guidance, including AI integration that serves your content strategy
Beyond better content, your team ends the engagement with stronger editorial instincts, a clearer sense of what great looks like for their audience, and the confidence to keep getting there without needing someone in the room to tell them how.
THE COMMITMENT
Starting term: 3 months
Cadence: Fortnightly sessions in months one to three, adapting from month four
Time commitment: A few structured hours per month
PRICING
Pricing is scoped to your organisation. Get in touch to discuss.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This is the right fit if:
Your team produces content regularly but want a senior editorial voice shaping it
You feel your content lacks sharpness, originality or audience focus
You have a content strategy but need support executing it well
You want your team to build genuine editorial capability over time
You're an individual or independent creator who wants an expert eye on your content to push it further
If you need someone to run the content function and own the results, the Fractional Content Executive engagement is the better fit.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
Intro call: A free 25-minute conversation to talk through your content and whether this is the right fit.
Scoping and onboarding: We agree on the scope and rhythm of the first three months, including your priority channels and how often we meet.
Structured first three months: I work alongside your team with fortnightly sessions, attending meetings, reviewing content and giving direct feedback.
Review and ongoing engagement: At the end of month three we review progress and agree on the right cadence going forward.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The key difference is accountability and presence. As your Fractional Content Executive, I lead your content function and take ownership of its direction and results. As your Editorial Advisor, I work alongside your team, attending meetings, reviewing content and giving feedback, but the accountability for output stays with your team. It is a lighter touch with a lower time and financial commitment.
-
I work across the full content mix: video, audio, social, written and web. We agree on your priority channels at the start of the engagement and focus the work there, adapting as your content mix evolves.
-
Most teams notice a shift in the quality of their editorial conversations and content decisions within the first few weeks. Measurable improvement in content quality and audience response typically takes longer. Three to six months is realistic. That is why the engagement is structured to build over time rather than deliver a one-off intervention.
-
You will need a named point of contact who attends our sessions and can champion the work internally. Beyond that, the commitment is light. A fortnightly meeting and the normal workflow of producing content. I work around your existing rhythms.
-
Yes, and it is a natural progression for teams that grow into needing deeper editorial leadership. If the scope of what you need expands over time, we can discuss moving into a Fractional Content Executive engagement.
-
We review together and agree on the right ongoing cadence. Some clients move to monthly sessions, others prefer every two months. The engagement adapts to where your team is at rather than staying fixed to a rigid structure.

Before moving into an ongoing engagement, it can help to know exactly what you are dealing with. The Content Evolution Sprint is a structured, fixed-fee service with a senior editorial leader who will tell you honestly where your content stands, and what to prioritise in the next 90 days.
