Their coverage has spanned critical technology and business topics, including artificial intelligence, e-commerce, leadership, and the future of work.
“The way companies tell their stories is undergoing a fascinating transformation, but the fundamentals of great storytelling remain constant,” said Dishman. “I’m excited to join Method’s incredible content team. As former journalists, we recognize the enduring value of industry experts’ perspectives to add context to the news as well as the emerging opportunities to broaden that context into owned and branded content. Working together, we’ll help clients tell authentic stories that not only resonate, but advance current conversations in a meaningful way.”
Dishman joins Method’s industry-leading content team headed by Tim Race, EVP of Narrative and Thought Leadership and former New York Times business and technology editor.
