Behind the Scenes with Joshua Lunney 

Q: Tell us about your role, what do you do at Today Digital? 

A: I’m the Commissioning Editor at Today Digital. Technically, I’ve only been in this specific role for a few weeks now. However, my connection with the company goes way back. I spent several years here as a Content Marketer, before temporarily stepping away to explore new opportunities.  

After a while, I decided I wanted to rejoin the company and dive back into the world of content. I have to say, I’m feeling more motivated and focused than ever before. I can’t wait to explore everything this new role has to offer.  

Q: What’s the most memorable moment you’ve had at Today Digital? 

A: Going back to when I was previously working with Today Digital as a content marketer, the inaugural UC Summit was a major milestone for me. It was the first “major project” I worked on with the company, and it was an incredible experience.  

The success of the Summit has always been a collective effort, and I really love seeing how teamwork (happening both internally and externally), contributes to such a fantastic event.  

Q: How would you define our culture at Today Digital? 

A: The culture at Today Digital has always revolved around flexibility and trust. With our four-day work week, and the fact that our team members are fully remote, work-life balance has always been a top priority. Employees are given the freedom to manage their own time, and I think that helps us all maintain a healthy work-life balance, while encouraging a high level of autonomy and productivity.  

At Today Digital, everyone gets to thrive in an environment that really supports not just professional growth – but personal wellbeing too.  

Q: Tell us about something you’ve accomplished working with Today Digital 

A: Outside of all the professional growth I’ve achieved within the company over the years, working with Today Digital has helped me to accomplish more personal goals too. Thanks to the company’s four-day work week, for instance, I will be volunteering at my local hospice going into 2025. 

I worked at the hospice before, and I still hold it dear to my heart. I’m really excited to have this opportunity to give back to my community and make a meaningful impact in a space that has always meant so much to me. 

Q: If you could give one piece of advice to someone starting their career here, or in a similar role, what would it be? 

A: Always stay curious and be open to learning. Today Digital values innovation, and your fresh perspective can bring new ideas to the table.
