Kelly Phillips Badal

Writer, Editor, and Content Strategist for Travel, (Lifestyle & Home Publications)

Los Angeles

I've worn a ton of different hats while working for some of the nation's largest magazines and websites. Lifestyle editor. Beauty editor. Fashion editor. Home design editor. DIY & crafts editor. And lately, after taking time away from years of beloved on-staff positions to travel extensively, I've become a travel editor too. (I have a lot of passions -- and contact lists!) But bottom line, I love smart stories told well, stories that compel readers to take action. And I'm not limited to print. I've translated content across social media, web sites, video, and tablet editions. I know how to write that viral headline or how to create an on-brand image that'll garner hundreds of likes on Instagram.
