Richard Frost Managing Editor

As managing editor of theEword, Richard manages the agency's content output across all clients. With extensive experience of working in the media, Richard has adapted his journalistic talent to contribute to theEword's SEO strategy by building digital PR campaigns for our clients, and managing key social media accounts.

Richard is an NCTJ-qualified journalist. In his spare time, he helps out as press and publicity officer at Green Chorlton, which stages various high-profile events including Chorlton's Big Green Festival.

He brings plenty of editorial experience to the team, having previously worked as News Correspondent at a Manchester news agency, Sports Editor at Durham University newspaper Palatinate and Theatre Editor at online magazine Durham21.co.uk. His varied portfolio also includes news articles, features and reviews for the Times, the Liverpool Echo, the Southport Visiter, the Watford Observer, Old Trafford News, Salford Online and InTheNews.co.uk.

At work, it is Richard's job to plan and manage SEO content across all theEword's clients, including news, blogs, fixed content, social media and digital press releases. Richard was previously press officer at theEword; this required him to write press releases and maximise whatever publicity opportunities come our way. As a direct result, theEword has secured press coverage in The Drum, Brand Republic and North West Business Insider among others. He is also the face behind some key social media accounts, including theEword's Twitter feed.

Richard particularly enjoys putting his PR knowledge to good use to in the voluntary sector. Besides Green Chorlton, he has helped to promote the Oxjam Manchester music festival, Badminton England and spent several years supporting the work of the Community Foundation for Greater Manchester.
