Edgar Ortiz
@edgarortiz
Communications professional and digital producer who turns fast deadlines into polished content.
What I'm looking for
I’m a communications professional with 7+ years of experience supporting deadline-driven content, campaigns, and cross-functional workflows for digital brands and media organizations. I’m a strong writer and editor who coordinates materials, gathers inputs, tracks timelines, and keeps content workflows organized.
In my role as a Writer & Digital Producer for the USA Today Network, I produced audience-facing stories, promotional copy, and supporting materials for Reviewed and USA Today properties. I helped drive high-visibility campaigns like Black Friday and Prime Day by coordinating real-time updates, tracking changes, and keeping deliverables moving forward.
I’m known for follow-through and detail orientation—writing and editing headlines, metadata, summaries, and supporting copy with a focus on tone, clarity, accuracy, and audience needs. I also maintained high-volume publishing workflows in WordPress and proprietary CMS platforms, balancing multiple priorities without losing organization.
Before that, I worked as a Freelance Writer for Comic Book Resources and an Editorial Assistant at King Features Syndicate, supporting marketing initiatives, editorial production, and campaign materials. Across roles, I’ve collaborated closely with editorial leadership, partners, and stakeholders to source information, align approvals, and ensure projects stay on schedule.
