About

I’m William Savage, a content, communications, and marketing professional with 10+ years of experience shaping editorial strategy, growing audiences, and coordinating creative partnerships across international publishing and science content. Most recently, I led content and editorial planning for Frontiers for Young Minds, managing high-volume publication workflows and social/media launch campaigns while translating complex scientific topics into clear, engaging narratives for non-specialist audiences.

I bring a mix of creative editorial judgement and a data-driven approach to performance—using audience and KPI insights to refine priorities, formats, and outreach. I’m comfortable managing multiple deadlines across cross-functional teams, briefing and coordinating external creators and contributors, and maintaining consistent brand voice across projects ranging from institutional collaborations (NASA, CERN, IPCC, WEF, UNDP, the European Commission) to partnerships with 30+ Nobel Prize winners.
