NICK JACKSON

Newsroom Leader, Editorial Strategist, Growth Consultant

Chicago-based, National Magazine Award-winning editorial and business leader with 15-plus years of experience operating at the intersection of media and tech. I've built and run ambitious, data-driven teams responsible for exponential digital and revenue growth; held EIC, publisher, and director-level titles at both startups and consumer publications including Atlas Obscura, SSIR, Pacific Standard, and Outside; and covered technology, launching that subject vertical for the Atlantic, and used it — embracing SEO, machine learning, social, AI, and other tools — to continue reaching large audiences with meaningful journalism in our rapidly evolving and competitive media landscape.
