We’re looking for our next Content Manager!


Hello dear friends, 

This week's newsletter is bittersweet. After more than 2 years and 108 issues of Weekly Highlights, it will soon be time for me to hang up my keyboard, so to speak, and move on to the next chapter of my career. It has been an honor to write to you every week and weave together the gorgeous threads of your creativity. I still have a few weeks left at the helm, so I will hold onto my reflections until my last issue. 

But this passage is made beautiful knowing that the baton could very well be passed on to one of you! We're looking for a new Content Manager to fill this role, someone who revels in crafting words that delight and inspire. Someone who loves storytelling, especially as a means for lifting up the artists, thinkers, and makers among us who deserve a global spotlight. Someone who understands that our newsletter is more than an email, and can become a gathering place for us all to connect and create together. 

If this sounds like your dream, but you’re nervous and your heart is pounding, that might be the universe’s sign for you to go for it! Know that 216,000+ readers, myself, and the rest of the CreativeMorningsHQ team are cheering you on. Dive into the details of the role, and feel free to reach out to me personally at annie@creativemornings.com if you want to learn more. Applications are due by Monday, July 24, 11:59PM Eastern Time. 

Stay true,
Annie
