Team Structure

Our system is organised with the recognition of individuality and its role within the community, both internally and externally.

We have three distinctive teams working on developing the platform, ensuring the treatment of submissions and guiding creators throughout the process. Each person within our internal system works using their individual skills and interests, contributing to the collective in a way that personally suits their unique needs, talents, and skills.

The organisation team ensures that the platform functions well and overlooks the overall quality of the project. All members are equal and the hierarchy is horizontal without directors or managers, however we all have specific tasks and responsibilities to ensure that the structure of all the three teams is adequate and updated to the needs of the team members, and that the whole of the platform develops smoothly and as consistently as possible, without any unnecessary pressure or stress.

The editorial team ensures that the written submissions are processed, addressed, edited and published. All members are equal and the hierarchy is horizontal without higher or lower positions for editors, however we all have specific tasks and responsibilities to ensure that we communicate with writers directly, guide them and inspire them in terms of the content that our platform is looking for. Editors present content breakdown and article ideas to keep writers up to date with different themes and subjects we want to focus on. The team meets once every two weeks to discuss new articles as well as the general direction of content and its conceptualisation in regard to the leading mission and identity.

The creative team ensures that the visual and audiovisual submissions are processed, addressed, edited and published. These can be used on the website of the magazine as a piece on its own or on our social media platforms, depending on the specific purpose of the piece. In addition, the creative team curates the visual and audiovisual content for SPIRAL directly, such as social media content and activity, graphic design, photoshoots, as well as video production and post-production for different outlets. All creative members are equal and there is no hierarchy in the team, as they exchange ideas, projects, and skills to come together and create (audio) visual work.
