About Rob Smith
I am an experienced journalism leader skilled in developing strategic content for award-winning business and consumer publications. I am now the executive editor at Formidable, a media and membership company that produces newsletters, content and podcasts independently and on behalf of our partners. I\'ve been editor at Seattle magazine and Seattle Business magazine, both the Portland and Puget Sound Business Journals, and at the Seattle Times Community News Group, where I oversaw three community weeklies. I also launched national retail coverage for commercial real estate data company CoStar Group. I have extensive radio and TV experience, and currently broadcast three short news segments on Northwest News Radio every weekday afternoon. I\'m a collaborative, collegial manager with a history of hiring, uniting and inspiring diverse teams, increasing audience engagement and driving revenue. Top skills include content creation, relationship building and storytelling. As much as anything, I like getting paid to be nosy!
