About AndreaB319

Dear Hiring Manager: Breakthrough digital content, platform innovation, and relationships of trust…Business across industries are finding that this formula is critical to success within our time of rapid change and transformation on a global scale. Fortunately, this intersection is where I excel and where I can be a driving force in ushering your company into its next phase of brand storytelling, relevance, and the engagement and growth of diverse audiences. My career has given me the insights and tools I need to deliver impact across a wide range of audiences. Always within a digital-first environment, I have built a strategy, programming, technology, production, and partnerships background that has moved brands to the forefront of the cultural conversation. I have been recognized with Top Women in Digital and IT List, Digital Hot List, and Content Director of the Year (Best of the Web) honors. Most recently, as the head of Digital & Social Media, Content & Marketing for AMC Network’s WE tv brand, I played a pivotal role in elevating this multiplatform content creator to a #1 ranking with African-American female audiences in 2019 and 2020 and a top-3 social destination on Thursday and Friday nights. The team that I built and led received a Best Website Award and a Best Digital Team Award. You will see that I began my career at News Corp. These few years positioned me at the forefront of several innovations that became standards. Throughout my career, these have included new content platforms, app-exclusive video content, the migration of story concepts to YouTube, the industry’s first online fan experience, the industry’s first live interactive quiz app, and an online interactive map and journalist tracker that became a standard for news sources worldwide. I welcome an opportunity to discuss the ways in which I can add value to your team. Sincerely, Andrea Bell Macey
