Joaquín Ortega
@joaqunortega
I turn social, paid media, and creator content into measurable growth across US and LATAM.
What I'm looking for
At Joybyte, I manage TikTok Shop and social strategy, helping creator-led brands turn content into a real sales channel.
I've spent 8+ years connecting creative work—content, creators, and trends—with data, ROI, and operational execution across the U.S. and Latin America. My work has delivered 5.8x ROI on paid media, strengthened qualified-lead generation through HubSpot, and optimized funnels for acquisition and retention.
Previously, I led regional community management and social operations for brands including VISA, Mercado Libre, and Mercado Pago across multiple Latin American markets. I helped drive brand-sentiment turnarounds that reduced negative sentiment by more than 50 points and reduced regional response times by up to 95% through Sprinklr and CX coordination.
I work natively in English and Spanish and enjoy building the bridge between US brands and Latin American audiences.
