Starting a new job can be tough under any circumstances. But starting a new job just weeks before one of the biggest global crises in modern history is nearly unthinkable. Yet, for Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., that was his reality. Omelianuk spent nearly 12 years as the top editor at This Old House, where he developed his pedigree for crafting multiplatform content strategies. However, his time there, along with his time as a professor, business owner and consultant, couldn’t have prepared him for the past few months. Nevertheless, he has adapted and has leaned into addressing the crisis by launching new editorial initiatives that align with his brand’s core purpose. Given his unique situation, we wanted to check in with Omelianuk to hear his thoughts on a number of things. Here, we discuss his first six months on the job, how he pivoted his editorial strategy, his philosophies on multiplatform publishing, Inc.’s future in print and more.

There’s the one that existed the first two months I was here, when we were having a really great looking first quarter and had a lot of plans around grand expansion, with other lines of business outside of traditional media. That’s something I did quite a bit... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
