Carol Fezuk named executive editor of two local guides
Publisher Nancy Stenger Joseph of Lewes has announced the addition of colleague Carol Fezuk as new executive editor of her two popular local guides: Best Places in Town and Delaware Beach Weddings.
Joseph said the decision to turn over daily operations to Fezuk was a natural choice. “It takes a renaissance-woman to run a small publishing operation like this. Carol has worked with me as a freelance writer, ad designer and photographer on many projects while simultaneously developing her own successful PR firm. I know her work and how multi-talented she is. And, I know she understands and loves the people and businesses in this community as much as I do.”
But it was Fezuk’s publishing background, Joseph says, that made her the natural choice to take over day-to-day operations. “Carol has extensive experience as a publisher, having previously published two other local travel destination magazines.”
According to Fezuk, it has been seven years since she published and promoted southern Delaware’s beach businesses to print and online readers. This opportunity also allows Fezuk to continue providing Strictly Confidential Marketing's current and new clients with graphic and website design, press and public relations, social media networking and video branding.
“It's very exciting to be back in publishing again. Best Places in Town and Delaware Beach Weddings are both high-quality publications. We’re not reinventing anything, just enhancing and reshaping what's already there,” says Fezuk.
“We already put a fresh, new look on the Delaware Beach Weddings website. We’re building our social networking face and fans and increasing our print product’s distribution zone. We also believe that with the influx of civil unions after the New Year and over 2,000 weddings scheduled in 2012, Delaware Beach Weddings is an incredible marketing investment for any business that wants to target decision-makers in the wedding and event-planning industries.”
Joseph says other staffing changes include longtime advertiser account representative Skip Walls, also of Lewes, assuming the role of sales manager. “Carol and Skip both possess great vision and leadership, so I’m excitedly looking forward to them bringing fresh, new ideas to our media offerings.”
Best Places in Town has been promoting independently owned businesses in the beach area since 1994. Delaware Beach Weddings, a Governor’s Tourism Award winner, was founded in 2005. The new editions of both guides are now in production.
