PR

Ready for another installment of “The Assistant Files”? Of course you are! This week, The Daily ventured to the offices of Redbook, where Hannah Hickok has been assisting editor-in-chief Jill Herzig for over two years. Following a glossy-wide revamp last April that gave this women’s mag a stylish focus, Hickok ramped up her duties, landing an additional title of assistant editor. This new gig allowed Hickok to work on fashion features, all while maintaining Herzig’s tight schedule. Perhaps it was her short stint in PR that prepared her for this whirlwind gig…or maybe this Massachusetts native was made to multitask.
