– Journalist Lisa Gabor has been named Vice President for Creative
Strategy at
Island Outpost, Chris Blackwell’s resort group. Gabor will be
responsible
for the future of all Island Outpost brand identity as it is expressed
though
creative direction, strategic alliances, philanthropy, stewardship,
corporate
communications and business development. Gabor’s first project for
Blackwell
was the just launched site, goldeneye.com,
a new hybrid that blends travel journalism with GoldenEye’s fabled
history, and
hotel logistics. Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records and Island Outpost, is known for his eye for talent, having put Bob Marley and U2 on the map. He hand-picked Gabor to join the Island Outpost leadership team because, says Blackwell, “… Travel, like music and film, is culturally relevant. Gabor’s experience in creating and curating content is an essential component in what I see as the future of my company.” Gabor brings to Island Outpost a uniquely editorial point of view along with strong commercial know-how. Equal parts entrepreneur and editor, she specializes in start-ups. Gabor was most recently Editor-in-Chief of Black Ink, the American Express quarterly for Centurion Card members, while at the same time serving as Special Projects Editor for Departures. Prior to that, Gabor was the Editor of InStyle.com, where she translated the magazine’s success in print to the online medium. In addition, she was the founding Editor-in-Chief of Fuse Magazine and a founding editor of InStyle Magazine.
