From Ugly Betty to The Devil Wears Prada to Sex and the City, the late ’2000s were filled with iconic content that made it easy to dream of a career in magazines and media. If you’re working toward that dream or wondering where to start, we’ve got something kind of perfect for you.
Presenting: Club Cosmo’s very first (!) edition of Ask Willa Live, an exclusive virtual event for all of our premium tier members. On Tuesday October 28, you’ll have a chance to get to know each other and editor-in-chief Willa Bennett in an intimate (Zoom) setting and, of course, she’ll answer anything and everything about her career and how to get yours started. If you’ve ever been curious about the best advice she’s received as an EIC or have been wanting tips about networking and showing up with confidence, this event is 100 percent your look (sorry, we’re still in TSITP mode over here.)
Willa is bringing nearly 10 years of media experience to this Zoom call and, considering she got her start as an editorial fellow at Seventeen, carrying out a very full-circle moment. After Seventeen, she went on to the marketing and audience development team at Bustle Digital Group, managed social media at GQ and, most recently, held the editor-in-chief title at Highsnobiety, where she helped earn the publication four highly coveted National Magazine Awards, three Webby Awards, and three Muse Awards. Now, she’s overseeing all things Cosmo and Seventeen (and chatting about love and relationships in her newsletter every Friday).
If you’re ready to secure your spot in Ask Willa Live (and receive perks like our editor-approved Cosmo Hat, an annual Birchbox curated by our beauty team, and more events like this one), I’d *highly* recommend securing your Club Cosmo premium membership here. Once you’ve done that, you’ll get all the event sign-up deets sent straight to your email. Oh, and every print magazine delivered to your door. And immediate access to all of Cosmo’s digital content. Must I say more??
