PROFESSIONAL TESTIMONIALS

You aren't just reading a recommendation of Jillian Anthony, you are looking at a winning lottery ticket. Jillian is that good.
I first worked with Jillian when she was the Editor of Time Out New York and have since hired her as a freelancer at two more companies, all three disparate in content topics—entertainment, direct-to-consumer health care, B2B education—all three enhanced by the Jillian touch. She is a powerful creative, considerate collaborator, and an audience-first champion. Any audience and content lead is lucky to have her in their orbit.

Jillian played a pivotal role in our content creation endeavors, spearheading the sourcing and supervision of a diverse community of content creators across the US.
With Jillian's assistance, we produced nearly 400 unique content pieces. What sets Jillian apart is her remarkable productivity paired with an unwavering attention to detail. She consistently meets deadlines, and her project planning and editorial skills are top-notch. Her work ethic and skills make her an invaluable asset in any professional setting.

Jillian didn't just understand what we wanted to say with our content, but also how.
Even though, according to Jillian, IT is not her field of expertise, she was able to create professional content for us on such topics. It was very easy to work with her, she was available, on-time and we only had to explain what we needed once.

Editor of Time Out New York was a role Jillian was born for -- one that demanded a mix of incredible drive and the highest level of editorial skill.
As a writer, she's sharp, clever, and has a knack for hitting on the kind of detail and pleasure points that really make a piece sing; as an editor, she has an incredible curatorial eye and an instinct for what her audiences will connect to. She has a way with people -- those who work for her, those she's partnering with, and her friends -- that reveals a genuine curiosity and interest in the world and the folks who move about in it.

Working with Jillian is a rewarding and inspiring experience because of her amazing clarity of editorial vision.
She’s a fantastic editor, and she improved countless numbers of my stories over the years. From our time working together, I learned the importance of intelligent decisiveness approached with a generous spirit. From celebrity profile cover stories to travel, design and human interest pieces, I always found her creativity to be inspiring. Her professionalism and sense of shared responsibility turn concepts and ideas into reality.

Jillian enters every relationship and professional opportunity with a level of openness, vulnerability and curiosity.
In doing so, she’s able to harness her power as a natural-born thought leader and storyteller who’s innately creative because of her willingness to expand her mind and go beyond her lived experience. At Time Out New York, I’ve seen her overcome challenges with poise and ingenuity, tackle stories that pushed her beyond her comfort zone, launch a Sex & Dating column and excel as Editor-in-Chief. She is the embodiment of the saying, “Your effort will not betray you.” I believe her greatest strength is her ability to hold space for others including herself. By nurturing her personal growth, she is a dependable creator capable of tackling any task with excellence.

Among the many skills and talents that Jillian has, and they are plentiful, the one I admire most is her authenticity.
Whatever the task, challenge or assignment, Jillian brings her whole and true self with it. It’s apparent in everything that she does; the care and diligence that she puts into her writing and editing is founded on a genuine connection with the subject matter and people she engages with. Throughout our time working together I found that her abilities and character pushed me to be better at what I do. In addition to this, over the period we worked together (often in chaotic circumstances not of our own making) there was always warmth, laughs and understanding. It was a blast

Jillian is a valuable asset to any team, whether as a sole contributor or a leader.
I had the pleasure of working with her in both capacities at Culture Trip and Road.Travel. Her diligence, attention to detail, and commitment to both her tasks and her team members are consistently impressive. Jillian excels at breaking down complex projects into manageable and time-sensitive deliverables. I also appreciate her humanity and her ability to keep leadership accountable. Her can-do attitude, as evidenced by her launching a successful series of Culture Trip podcasts about New York boroughs during a challenging time, is a critical trait, especially in times of uncertainty and change.
