About me

Hi, I’m Maggie Dickman. I’m a social media strategist + content producer based in Brooklyn, New York, by way of Northwest Iowa.

After attending Drake University in my favorite little city Des Moines, where I studied Magazine Journalism and English, I joined the music lovers as a writer on the digital side of Alternative Press Magazine in Cleveland, Ohio.

After spending nearly five years as an audience engagement editor (and professional fangirl) at PEOPLE Magazine, I led social media content strategy across Hearst Magazines’ 25+ brands including Cosmopolitan, ELLE, Harper’s BAZAAR, Esquire, and Good Housekeeping. And now I’m back at PEOPLE Magazine, leading the Platforms team as the Associate Director, Social Media Strategy & Production, spearheading audience engagement efforts across emerging platforms + social video.

Outside of the office, you’ll spot me at a cafe with a black coffee and a good book, helping friends with data collection (what can I say, I’m a numbers person!), or even chatting all about the power of social media with early-career print and digital journalists.

If you want to talk Paramore or new + emerging social platforms, hit me up: maggieed22@gmail.com.

You can also find me on Instagram.

Talk soon.
