"The most impactful tech writing connects circuit boards to human experiences." - Marie Brewis, 2024 Editorial Address
Marie Brewis has established herself as a pivotal figure in consumer technology journalism through her dual role as Group Editor at Tech Advisor and Macworld UK. With over a decade of experience, she combines editorial leadership with hands-on device testing, particularly specializing in Android ecosystems.
Brewis prioritizes under-the-radar Android enhancements over spec sheet comparisons. A successful 2024 pitch about adaptive haptic feedback algorithms led to her award-winning piece on tactile UI design. Focus on user experience improvements rather than raw performance metrics.
Her archival work makes her receptive to pitches connecting modern devices to historical precedents. A recent article on smartphone notification systems drew parallels to 19th-century telegraph protocols, demonstrating this interdisciplinary approach.
With her background in analytics, Brewis favors pitches incorporating original datasets. Provide clean CSV files or API access alongside story ideas - her team developed a custom visualization tool for interactive data journalism.
Despite covering consumer tech broadly, Brewis consistently delegates gaming peripherals coverage to specialists. Her last direct involvement with gaming tech was a 2021 piece on mobile controller ergonomics.
Her university partnerships create opportunities for research-based tech stories. A recent pitch about biometric authentication merged computer science research with product design analysis, resulting in a cross-platform feature.
"Brewis' ability to demystify complex tech without condescension sets a new standard for accessibility in tech journalism." - 2024 Tech Media Awards Judging Panel
