I am a senior editorial and commercial content editor who has worked across some of the UK’s leading titles including The Daily Telegraph, The Pool and Grazia magazine, in both an editorial and branded content capacity (print and online).

20 years’ editing experience and
ten+ years in commercial content


I have ten+ years’ commercial content experience, originating and overseeing campaigns at Grazia and The Pool. Brands I have worked with include EY, M&S, Office Shoes, John Lewis, French Connection, O2, Sainsbury’s Tu and Starbucks. All this means I can give any brief a winning creative spin, turn my hand to most subjects – from lifestyle to news and B2B – and work to different brands’ tone of voices.

I also know how to get a project off the ground – I have been on the launch team of two award-winning media brands: Grazia Magazine and The-Pool.co.uk (no longer live) and launch editor for the magazine, What To Wear Magazine. At The Telegraph I helped bring digital event franchise, Telegraph Live to life.

I hold a professional diploma in Digital Marketing (SEO, social media, Google Analytics and email marketing).

I’m always open to new projects and collaborations, so do get in touch if you’d like to discuss how we can work together.

Please contact me via email at Lucy.dunneditor@gmail.com. I am also on Twitter and Instagram.
