New Strategist for Social Visuals

We are excited to announce that Christina Hong has joined Social Visuals as a strategist, joining a cross-departmental team tasked with helping develop and execute the visual strategy for social platforms for our subscription brand accounts, including Wirecutter, Cooking, The Athletic and Games. Working with Brand, Video, and Audience, Christina will aid in implementing and connecting design systems and visual strategies that distinguish The Times's work, while creating efficiencies that connect to our newsroom while supporting the ambitions and growth of our subscription brands.

Prior to joining The Times, Christina was at New York magazine for four years, where she was a social content producer and then a senior designer. Her focus was the magazine's social media and its vertical accounts with The Cut, Vulture, Grub Street, The Strategist and Curbed, leading the redesign and creation of a visual identity across all social accounts and adapting the magazine's print stories to social media formats. Earlier in her career, Christina was a podcast producer at Hypebeast, where she produced podcasts including "Business of Hype with Jeff Staple." Christina graduated from the University of Southern California with a bachelor's degree in print journalism.

Christina started this week.
