ABOUT ME
Jackie Ortiz (she/they) is a dynamic leader and community advocate deeply committed to DEIA and building equitable, safe spaces. Based in Pasadena, California, Jackie is a freelance strategist and the Senior Social Lead at Blurb. She's also severely uncomfortable talking in the third-person, so let's just stop that part here 😉.
​
With keen focus on storytelling and community building, I offer over a decade of expertise in crafting brand presence, executing results-driven integrated marketing campaigns, and fostering creative concepts. I've had the pleasure of bridging artists, businesses, and personal brands to the right audiences.
​
When I'm not slanging creative, I'm on the quest for the perfect cup of boba, traveling in my DIY campervan, or creating short-form video content. Learn more about my food writing & travel adventures here.
