Description
DDM Group has an immediate opening for a Audience Development & Strategy Editor to lead growth strategies across our three digital properties: AtlantaBlackStar.com, Finurah.com, and TheShadowLeague.com.
This role sits at the intersection of organic audience growth, content distribution, and strategic partnerships. The ideal candidate is a creative thinker who finds unconventional pathways to expand reach, drive discovery, and cultivate loyalty among our audience at scale.

  • Evaluate and negotiate partnerships that drive audience acquisition and brand visibility across DDM's portfolio
  • Monitor the competitive landscape and identify where DDM has distribution gaps or untapped opportunities

Audience & Newsletter Growth
  • Own and drive subscriber acquisition strategy across the newsletter, Substack, and emerging owned channels
  • Lead newsletter audience growth including funnel development, engagement optimization, and monetization in collaboration with ad sales
  • Develop audience segmentation strategies that deepen loyalty, increase return visits, and move casual readers toward habitual engagement across all three properties

Social & Community Engagement
  • Develop and execute platform-specific strategies across Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, Threads, and emerging platforms
  • Build community on each platform - not just distribute content
  • Use data and performance analytics to identify content opportunities, optimize organic reach, and inform editorial strategy
  • Oversee content distribution and posting cadence across all platforms in collaboration with editorial and video teams

Reporting & Operations
  • Manage budget for platform tools and operational needs in collaboration with the VP
  • Track and report on performance metrics across distribution, social, and newsletter channels
  • Collaborate with sales, editorial, and external agency partners on audience goals tied to sponsorship and direct deal commitments

Position Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in journalism, communications, marketing, or comparable field
  • 5+ years in audience development, distribution, or digital media strategy - preferably within a publishing or media organization
  • Demonstrated experience building and scaling newsletter or email programs
  • Proven track record securing and managing content distribution or syndication partnerships
  • Deep platform fluency across social, newsletter, and emerging distribution channels
  • Strong creative instincts for identifying and activating non-obvious audience pathways
  • Proficiency in analytics tools including Google Analytics, social platform insights, and email performance metrics
  • Experience with A/B testing, SEO, and data-driven content optimization
  • Familiarity with social management tools a plus
  • Proficiency in Canva; Adobe Suite experience a plus
  • Deep understanding of how race and culture shape the experiences and media consumption of Black audiences
