Meet Monina, Our New Director of Content.
Monina Wagner’s skills as a content marketer have carried her through a career that includes leadership positions at local television news, the Cleveland Clinic and most recently Content Marketing Institute where she helped the founder and godfather of content marketing, Joe Pulizzi build the value, reputation, and community of Content Marketing World. We are thrilled that she has joined our team as the Director of Content.
Monina has been working closely with our team for over six months as a freelancer, developing content angles, story development, and social media strategies. She will continue to do that in-house, but also will be overseeing and assisting with development of long form copy, writing radio and tv spots, as well as working side-by-side with the creative team to concept and develop campaigns for TWIST clients.
“We have long been a fan of Monina’s and knew we wanted to further develop our content marketing expertise in-house. As a member of the team, Monina is working side-by-side with all team members to bring her expertise in storytelling and content development to all TWIST clients. Her energy, passion for clients, and expertise brings another level of leadership to the team.”

Monina began her career working in Cleveland local news as an assignment manager, conceptualizing and developing news stories, while also curating content. She worked closely with producers, reporters and photographers and was a part of the team bringing special event coverage, like the elections, to her audiences.
