About me

Hi, I’m Maggie Dickman. I’m an audience engagement editor and social media strategist based in Brooklyn, New York, by way of Northwest Iowa.

After attending Drake University in my favorite little city Des Moines, where I studied Magazine Journalism and English, I joined the music lovers as a writer on the digital side of Alternative Press Magazine in Cleveland, Ohio.

After spending nearly five years as an audience engagement editor (and professional fangirl) at PEOPLE Magazine, I now lead social media content strategy across Hearst Magazines’ 25+ brands including Cosmopolitan, ELLE, Harper’s BAZAAR, Esquire, and Good Housekeeping.

Outside of the office, you’ll spot me at a cafe with a black coffee and a good book, helping friends with data collection (what can I say, I’m a numbers person!), or even chatting all about the power of social media with early-career print and digital journalists.

If you want to talk girl power anthems, Paramore, or new + emerging social platforms, hit me up: maggieed22@gmail.com.

You can also find me on Twitter and Instagram.

Talk soon.
