Time Out, the global media and leisure brand that helps people explore and experience the best of the city, announces that Will Gleason (@WillSGleason) has been promoted to Editor, Time Out New York.
In this role, Gleason will be central to further evolving Time Out New York’s curated content, highly engaged audience and unique voice across all digital, print and social media channels; the editorial team is also key to the curation of the best of the city showcased at Time Out Market New York, the company’s food and cultural market that opened in May in Dumbo, located on the East River between the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge.
Will brings great editorial experience and leadership to the team. He joined Time Out New York in 2014 and most recently was Deputy Features Editor, creating and editing content across print and digital channels. In addition to overseeing features, Will also managed Time Out New York’s daily identity across digital news posts, newsletters and social media. Previously, he was Time Out New York’s Staff Writer and Content Editor, and held a variety of editorial positions at Viacom, New York Post and Next Magazine.
In addition to Will’s new role, Time Out also promoted Danielle Valente as Editor, Time Out New York Kids - the brand’s digital and quarterly print publication much-loved by parents looking for great things to do in the city.
Dave Calhoun, Global Deputy Editor-in-Chief, Time Out Media, said:
“I’m thrilled that Will Gleason is stepping up to lead Time Out New York’s editorial team. He is an inspiring and dedicated editorial talent who totally gets why our audience loves us – because we help people go out better in all of our 327 cities worldwide. It’s an exciting time for us as we approach the 25th anniversary of our presence in New York and continue to transform the iconic Time Out brand with the global roll out of Time Out Market. Time Out’s audience and content across North America now includes Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Boston, San Francisco, Montréal and more. But NYC has a special place in our hearts as our first and flagship city in the USA – and where we also just recently opened Time Out Market New York, a wholly editorially curated food and cultural market.”
Will Gleason, Editor, Time Out New York, commented:
“Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside the brilliant editorial team at Time Out New York as they’ve showcased the absolute best NYC has to offer. I am excited about this new role and particularly pleased to see Danielle Valente step up to Editor of Time Out New York Kids.
“Time Out’s expert curation is an essential resource for everyone looking to make the most of the city, and it is this trusted content and our authority that is valued not only by our audience but also our advertising clients. I’m thrilled for the opportunity to help lead the brand as it continues to drive the cultural conversation in New York.”
