ACBJ’s director of editorial engagement and tools is leaving the company

Haley Correll

Jon Wile, vice president of content at American City Business Journals, sent out the following announcement on Wednesday:

Haley Correll, who was recently promoted to Director of Editorial Engagement & Tools on the National Content Team, is leaving American City Business Journals at the beginning of 2017.

Haley has had an impressive 2.5-year run at ACBJ. She led a social media strategy that resulted in a 96.3% increase in social media instances, visited dozens of newsrooms to help with social media training, led webinars and training from Charlotte on the power of social media as a storytelling tool, brought us Sprout Social, got Facebook to verify all our pages and helped navigate the pesky Facebook algorithm changes, established social media partnerships between our newsrooms and other local news outlets, analyzed our social analytics and pivoted our social strategy when necessary, and, finally, worked with newsrooms to study how premium content and other ACBJ products performed on our social feeds.

It goes without saying that Haley will be missed greatly.
