Scot Gillies

Marketing Editor and Content Strategist @Reed And Glass

Lexington, KY, US

As a contract editor and author, I produce marketing materials and develop content on assignment for several companies. In addition to content creation, I oversee editorial scheduling, freelance coordination, story editing, and proofreading. I write and edit content for weekly, monthly, and quarterly magazines, as well as print and electronic newsletters, blogs, books, press releases, whitepapers, online catalogs, and webinars. I advise on brand development.During this period, I have occasionally served in temporary, full-time roles. These assignments include- Executive Director and President of the Board at Blue Grass Farms Charities for three months in 2018. In my role at BGFC, I took on the charge to restore the 501(c)(3) charity\'s onetime leadership role of providing much-needed support for the often overlooked foundation of the Thoroughbred sport. Before my arrival, the organization was significantly out of compliance with its own bylaws, its 501(c)(3) requirements, and obligations it had made to providers of grant funds. My role was to establish a path to renewed compliance, restart several benevolence programs that had been inactive, recruit responsible and effective board members, and identify new fundraising initiatives- Marketing coordinator for Consultwebs.com for eight months in 2014 during the redesign and development of the company\'s two websites and associated newsletters and social media profiles.
