32 min - Episode #101: Amy Rosner, Co-Founder, Fluent Mag
In this episode, we are delighted to chat with Amy Rosner, Co-Founder of Fluent Mag, the first social media-coded magazine born in New York City.
A former lifestyle editor turned content creator, Amy’s career spans Gotham Magazine, Modern Luxury, WWD and People, where she honed her editorial eye and love for storytelling. But Amy always knew she wanted to tell stories that felt closer to home.
After years of pitching, posting and powering through closed doors, she stopped waiting for a seat at the table and built her own. Fluent Mag is a reflection of that: part magazine, part mindset, all about being ahead of the curve. Amy coined the term inFLUENTcer journalism™ to describe its unique blend of influencer culture and editorial storytelling. It’s bold, unfiltered and written in the language we actually speak.
