Louise Merry

Senior SEO analyst editor (Spark) at The Daily Telegraph

United Kingdom

A primary school substitute teacher once humoured my 10-year-old self by saying I was 'destined for a career in journalism'. I ditched the crayons (well, sort of), became even more inquisitive – and here we are today.

I have written for The Independent (print/online) and Heart Radio (online/news broadcast scripts). I now work for The Telegraph as a senior SEO analyst editor, sub-editor and journalist.

Many clippings from 2013 onwards will direct you to microsites I have built within the Telegraph domain. In most cases, these sites have been optimised, subbed, built and managed by myself. A number of these sub domains feature articles written by myself and many of the layouts are also determined by yours truly.

Responsibilities are highlighted where possible and PDFs are supplied in instances where the original web pages have been redirected.
