EditorAceville Publications Ltd
Colchester, United KingdomFull Time
I was hired to launch a new concept technology magazine based around home automation/custom installation/home cinemas. A newsstand title, SmartHouse evolved over the years into International SmartHouse when the brief broadened to include interior design and other elements, and and, finally, SmartLife International when the brief broadened further still to embrace luxury travel, prestige cars, ludicrously expensive watches, and ever increasing tech toys.
While Editor of that, I was also charged with creating a B2B publication for the Custom Installation trade, SVI - Sound Vision Install, and was also handed a failing B2B title for the pub trade, Freehouse Owner.
I have since worked for the same publishing house on a freelance basis, firstly returning to edit SVI, then inheriting Retail Packaging magazine (B2B) and then the country's oldest and best-selling shooting sports magazine, Gun Mart.
