Summary

James Oliver Cury is an award-winning writer, editor and media strategist with extensive experience in digital and print publishing. He's helped build and revitalize brands with pioneering work in content creation, audience development, social media, community/influencer networks, and video—with a data-based approach that drives traffic, boosts engagement, garners press, and reveals new revenue streams.

Experience

As VP/Content at travel site ThePointsGuy.com, Cury created the brand's tentpole "TPG Reports," oversaw a soup-to-nuts redesign, built a 24/7 newsroom team, and doubled traffic from 2.5 to 5 million uniques. Prior to that, he was the digital director at Details.com (Condé Nast) where he oversaw digital, mobile, and editorial strategy across all platforms. While there, he increased traffic tenfold, quadrupled the pace of content creation, and expanded syndication with third-party companies like Buzzfeed, Liquor.com, and Equinox. He also created dozens of new video series and launched the Style Syndicate, a wholly independent influencer network/community hosting content from the world's top men's style bloggers—which provided a platform for all kinds of sponsored content.

Before Details, Cury was the shelter-sites web director at Hearst Digital, where he guided the transformation of GoodHousekeeping.com, HouseBeautiful.com, and CountryLiving.com. Before Hearst, he was executive editor of Epicurious.com and led the editorial team to numerous awards, including a James Beard, Webby, MIN, NY Emmy, OMMA, and MPA. He also helped launch the “Epi-Log” blog and contributed to the development of the site's iPhone app, which has been downloaded more than 10 million times. Cury was the food/restaurant editor at Time Out New York and senior editor at Playboy.com.
