Maryam Siddiqi is a editorial director based in Toronto.
Equally excited about storytelling as I am about building processes, I have more than 15 years experience leading teams in content creation. I am a strategic thinker who is skilled at translating brand identity across a variety of platforms (social, web, sponsorship, events) to leverage existing content to reach new audiences and build engagement.
My journalism has appeared in The Globe and Mail, National Post, Chatelaine, Report on Business, En Route and Elle Canada, among other publications, and has won Digital Publishing Awards, Society for Newspaper Design awards and been nominated for National Magazine Awards. I have appeared as a travel and lifestyle expert on television and radio, and often moderate panels at lifestyle events.
I am the proud founder of a digital travel magazine, La Carte (2015-2018), was nominated for a 2013 Webby Award in the personal blog/website category for a blog about the state of modern femininity, and am honoured to have been chosen as an emerging photographer by Photo Life magazine in 2010.
