To think that I’ve been with Waiting on Martha for three years (!) is pretty remarkable. I joined as a bright-eyed intern at five hours per week, and even from those early days I knew I was joining something to be reckoned with. Mandy Kellogg Rye (or MKR as she signs and everyone lovingly refers to her on here) had been blogging for a little over a year by the time I jumped on board, and even then she had already begun to create a brand that captured beauty in the everyday and celebrated the details that could inspire. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it at the time, but there was this electric energy in everything she did, and I knew that joining the WOM train would open up my world to an even better place. It was apparent that MKR’s passion to share the best in entertaining, food & drink and interiors served a growing audience by the day, and I saw first-hand how we made waitingonmartha.com into an online destination for all of that and more.
Now, in our fourth year, waitingonmartha.com shares content across the board, ranging from beauty and fashion to entertaining, tablescapes and interiors. And let’s not forget about travel, career advice and interviews on some of the best creatives in the biz. As we look to the summer and beyond, our editorial calendar is as stacked as ever, and we’re eager to challenge ourselves to bring you even better, and possibly different, content than before.
We’re conducting a brief-ish survey for all of our readers to learn what’s working (and what’s not!) on waitingonmartha.com. I say “brief-ish” because there are under 30 questions, (we’re all busy people here), but we’d really love for you to take your time and be honest with your answers. Within the survey, you’ll find questions covering general usability, as well as editorial content and topics you wish to see more, or less of. We have some big updates and projects in the pipeline, and we want to best serve you, our lovely readers and friends, because you help keep this crazy train going. From all of us at WOM, thank you so much for being part of our world. Cheers, Kat
