STEP BY STEP
> INTERVIEW FEATURE <
The sun’s rays have cast a golden shimmer across the ocean. I’m sitting in the line up with Jenny Jones – Olympic medalist, 3 times X Games winner and multiple British Snowboard Champion, her eyes fixed firmly on the horizon. We rise and fall with the passing swell and our chatter drifts back to snowboarding. “There was a time before the Olympics when I felt ready to begin winding down my competitive career, then I got the call…”
Step by Step, The Jenny Jones Story by Demi Taylor
THE IDEA
Demi Taylor was the Editorial Manager for the 2019 Watergate Hotel Magazine, involved in the production of the publication from content planning through to commissioning, flat planning, as well as editorial contributions including a feature on Olympian Jenny Jones during her stay at Watergate Bay Hotel.
THE RESULT
The interview feature with Jenny Jones written by Demi ran to 4 pages in the Watergate Hotel Magazine.
THE APPROACH
Demi was the Editorial Manager for the 2019 Watergate Hotel Magazine, involved in the production of the publication from content planning through to commissioning and briefing writers, illustrators and photographers as well as copy editing, flat planning and talent management.
Olympic snowboarder Jenny Jones took time out with Demi Taylor during her stay at Watergate Bay Hotel to contemplate her journey from dry slope to become the UK’s most successful snows sports athlete while soaking up the best of what Watergate has to offer. The four page feature accompanied by original illustrations by Victoria Jones brings the journey and experience to life.
The stars are clear and bright in the night sky, so what does tomorrow hold for Jenny Jones? “I’ve spent so much time away in the mountains, it’s now about catching up on the coast. I love being back in Cornwall – the waves, the beaches, the outdoor living, it’s wild. Depending on the surf, I might go for a ride. I’m into road cycling…We’ll see,” she says laughing, before taking a last longing look towards the horizon.
