Where possible, start with quantifiable improvements that are beneficial to the company and tell the interviewer what actions you took that led to that benefit. If the actions you took are innovative or noteworthy, briefly describe them. Ideally, they will focus on your ability to plan and revise content.

"You'll notice that I increased reader engagement by 18%, which led to our ability to raise ad revenue by 10%. I increased reader engagement by asking the writers to write as if they were speaking directly to the reader and to ask them questions. I also added touch points at the end of each article so that readers can write in using email, Twitter, and even a phone hotline."
