ABOUT BOBBY DEMURO

I have more than a decade of experience in digital media, copywriting, journalism, and online publishing including my current management role at one of the most famous entertainment news websites in the world. As the Senior Editor at PerezHilton.com, I’m responsible for writing and editing thousands of words daily, conscientiously fact-checking stories, and crafting attention-grabbing headlines and angles to hook readers and drive engagement. I also organize our story budget, oversee the daily publishing schedule, track audience behavior via analytics, brainstorm long-term growth strategies, and produce social media content.In addition, I lead a team of writers and ensure they adhere to style guide standards while holding them to stringent deadlines.
