💬 Here are some of our favorite quotable moments💬

"Content is like the air that the marketing team breathes."

"[We're] basically coming to all of our stakeholders and looking for key themes across the org, or patterns and things that people are looking for...because you can't do everything."

"One of my priorities as an editor is not just to make the piece awesome, but it's also to make the writer feel more empowered next time that they're writing a piece."

Margaret also provided us with an amazing resource in this Airtable base, which acts as a rubric for scoring different aspects of an author's piece.
