Claim your profileHi, I’m Delaney (she/her), a writer, editor, and membership communications strategist who cares a whole hell of a lot about words and the people who use them. If you’re here, I bet you do, too, so let’s create something beautiful together. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with media, membership, and learning organizations — whose audiences range from regional to global — to develop exceptional content, strategies, and communities, including: - Inaugural content strategy for Fortune Magazine’s community of next-gen leaders - Global executive communications as chief of staff for McKinsey & Company’s chief learning officer - An award-winning subscription news site and aligned books, journals, webinars, and annual conference as editor-in-chief of a publisher's top digital community - An enterprise learning membership that tripled in contract value within two years Along the way, I’ve helped aspiring and unwitting writers alike find their passion on the page and professional ones land placements in major outlets, including Vice, Fast Company, Entrepreneur, and The Huffington Post. Today, I use this experience to help purpose-driven and community-based organizations, publishers, and progressive nonprofits advance their missions. I believe that creativity and community make us human, and I love working with those who nourish our humanity through food, art, knowledge, and equity. I’ve won Specialized Information Publishers Association awards for my contributions to journalism, content marketing, digital strategy, and membership product development. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English from Northeastern University and am a member of Resource Generation, which organizes young people with wealth and class privilege in the U.S. to work toward economic and racial justice. During off-hours, I enjoy horror movies and musicals in equal measure. Ditto my pup, Spud, and his namesake, both of which can be found more often than not in my Brooklyn, NY, apartment, along with my husband, Todd, who makes a mean hashbrown.
