In 2011, Gold worked on marketing for French firm Biobble, then at Les Dossiers d’Aquitaine. After working as a rights assistant at HarperCollins Publishers in 2011 and 2012, Gold briefly wrote about football for FourFourTwo before joining Newsquest Media Group to write for the Watford Observer and St Albans Review.
