Meet Your Savvy Editor: Maddie
Hi there!
I'm Madeleine - but the majority of my friends call me Maddie—and if you’ve been around for a while, you might also know me as The Buzzing Blonde from my solopreneur days. I’m currently a social media strategist for Social Savvy and the co-host of Hashtag Managed, our go-to podcast for creatives, marketers, and online business owners who want the real tea on social media and entrepreneurship.
I’m a graphic designer by trade and a Swiftie by soul, with a brain powered by ADHD and a birth chart that basically screams “creative chaos.” If you want the full picture, just know I’m a Gemini sun, Taurus moon, and Aquarius rising. So… do with that what you will.
My focus lately has been on elevating our email strategy, making sure every piece is both beautiful and effective. I recently rebranded The Savvy Edit, Social Savvy, and our podcast, and I’m always thinking of new ways to create with clarity, intention, and a little bit of magic. When I’m off the clock, you’ll find me with my nose in a book, laying out at the beach, rearranging my one-bedroom apartment like it’s going to be featured in Architectural Digest, or playing tourist in Charleston (I’ve lived here four years and still keep finding new favorite spots).
In the meantime, here are some things I'm loving:
Some quick Q&A!
What topics do you love to write about, and why?
There’s not much I don’t love talking (or writing) about. Pop culture, cycle syncing, books, movies, travel, beauty....you name it, I’ve probably got a hot take.
What’s one thing readers might be surprised to learn about you?
I’ve had the same three best friends since I was six. That’s probably one of my greatest flexes in life. Well, that and being able to say I saw Ms. Taylor Alison Swift open for Rascal Flatts.
Where can people connect with you outside of the blog?
Let’s Dive into Maddie’s All-Time Favorites with a R.E.P.O.R.T.!
Reads: What are your top favorite books of all time?
The Giver, The Odyssey, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and Shoe Dog
Eats: What are you constantly chef-ing up or snacking on?
Peanut Butter stuffed dates with chocolate chips and coconut (one of my favorites during my luteal phase)
Fresh fruit (I try and eat what's in season)
Plays: What music, movies, or playlists are your go-to?
Only one?! Okay if I had to pick one...
Series: Sex and the City will forever be my favorite comfort show
Movie: 10 Things I Hate About You
Playlist: This playlist
Obessions: What are a few things you can’t shut up about?
When we'll get Debut (Taylor's version)
Cycle Syncing
Curating my dream wardrobe
Reccomends: What advice you’d give to anyone and everyone?
“Invest in yourself. Bet on yourself. Because if you don’t, who will?”
Treats: What’s something you treat yourself to when you need a boost?
Mani/pedi: Growing up, my mom ALWAYS got her nails done every two weeks (clearly a time before gel manicures). I think that stuck with me, because my nails are always done too....when they are, I just feel a little more put together.
A cute matching set: There's something about showing up to a workout class in a matching set that just hits different.
Jewelry: I'm not sure if you've heard but I'm kind of a jewelry influencer *tucks hair behind ear * not really, but in my head I am. I also turned 30 last year and I'm at the stage in my life where I want to invest in jewelry that won't turn my skin green 😅
Books: Okay, I know the library lovers (hi, besties) are going to come for me… but my home library? She needs books. And she’s not going to build herself!!
