Melbourne News

Project management and content migration

City of Melbourne’s editorial website, formerly named Melbourne Magazine, required a new website, brand and content migration. The old site was an out of date CMS and limited the editorial team in what type of content they could share. In 2022 I led the digital transformation of this project creating the newly branded Melbourne News. This was a large scale project with a compressed timeline. The transformed website has seen an increase in positive visitor metrics and improved SEO.
