Independent Contractor – Advertising Services

Editor

• Curate our home design coverage: The first step in all of this is to find homes to share. Projects should range from period appropriate preservation projects to remodels that sensitively update aging homes, to high-performing new homes. Over the course of a year, you’ll publish houses from all periods, all styles, and all corners of the country.
• Produce house-tour videos: Working with a video team you’ll produce documentary-style videos on the projects you find. You’ll write the script, help direct the shoots, and host our home design video program.
• Write print articles about houses: Working with the print team, you’ll cover an old house, new house, or home design topic, in every issue of the magazine. These articles will be inspirational and informative for our discerning audience, taking a deep dive into the most important details that made the projects successful.
• Launch and host a home design podcast: Working with the editorial director and digital editors, you’ll develop and host a new podcast that gives voice to the most authoritative and engaging home design enthusiasts from across the country.
• Cover products for home design enthusiasts: You’ll build a team of writers who can find and cover building materials, fixtures, and other products, both the things that make old house projects sing, and those that make new homes special.
• Attend and speak at events: FHB attends all the important building events; you’ll focus on covering home design events and eventually speak at them.
