Chris Barnes

editor | writer | digital project manager

Hi, I’m Chris. I’m an outdoors- and music-loving editor, writer and digital project manager with 15 years' experience within online and print publishing landscapes. This includes managerial, strategist and project coordinator roles for many market-leading brands, helping each of them to realise their creative and commercial goals. Do you need someone to wrangle your next video campaign or to write some engaging features, new stories or blogs for your brand? How about an experienced pair of hands to ensure your next event goes with a bang? I can do all of this and more. Better yet, I have the experience and the results to prove it. Below you'll find examples of my editing, writing, project and event management work. If you'd like to see more, or you're ready to talk shop, drop me a line: [email protected]
