Hello! I’m Gabriela Garcia, an editorial and marketing leader based in Chicago.

What I Can Do for You

  • I help brands and publications figure out what to say, where to say it, and how to make it profitable. I’ve doubled page views, generated seven-figure sales campaigns, and helped grow a beauty vertical by 98% (yes, really).

  • I can tell you exactly why your newsletter open rates are suffering and craft subject lines that fix it.

  • I'm also the person who can increase your conversion rates, grow your social following, and optimize your SEO.

    My Skills

  • I know my way around paid media campaigns and affiliate partnerships, because why create great content if no one can see it?

  • I’m fluent in Google Analytics and love a streamlined content calendar.

  • From food to pharmaceuticals, beauty to best-of reviews, and style to services, I’ve written/edited it all!

  • Bonus: I’m experienced in prompt engineering and generative AI!

    My Experience

  • Most recently, I was the Senior Commerce Editor at WellandGood.com. In this role, I crafted brand voice, established a comprehensive brand style guide with rigorous testing guidelines, and implemented a cross-platform commerce content strategy.

  • I also served as the Senior Beauty Editor at Editorialist.com where I led the vertical through expansive growth. Previously, I was an editor at The Everygirl Media Group, and my work has been featured in InStyle, Glamour, Parade, Fashionista, Bustle, The Pioneer Woman, Her Agenda, Remezcla, and more.

  • I’m currently working on content across The Arena Group's portfolio while consulting for Sephora-facing beauty brands.

No matter your scope or format, let’s work together to deliver your story with impact and precision.
