The Good Guide is Brisbane's premier lifestyle guide for those whose tastes are above average, refined, and more vogue influenced than your regular human. They put out a physical guide seasonally that lists the best of the best that the fair town of Brisbane has to offer, but their quirky web presence also keeps readers up to date in the interim.
I completed a six-month Editorial and Digital Media Internship with the company from June to December 2012.
During that time, I was heavily involved with:
• Writing numerous blog posts covering anything from local shops and events, to bands and human interest stories
• Helping choose and source content for the weekly newsletter, The Pigeon Post. Several newsletters I put together myself include; this, this and this
• Writing the e-news including the introduction, shop descriptions, giveaways, music recommendations and events
• Assisting with social media (Facebook and Twitter)
• Editing contributing writers' content
• Uploading content to the website using WordPress
• Editing photos to be website and newsletter suitable
• Helping choose feature content for the website
• using MailChimp to upload newsletter content
• General administration tasks around the office
Additionally, I also contributed to The Good Guide's blog from February 2012 writing pieces about various venues and events around town, before starting my internship.
