Social Media + Writing Samples

Hi! Linda Spain here. I’m a social media manager, writer, and producer with a background in storytelling that spans journalism, marketing and branded partnerships. Most recently, I managed and created content for Michelin-starred Chef Curtis Stone (675K).

Beyond that here’s a quick snapshot of my background:

  • Born + raised in Los Angeles, behind a Hollywood Sizzler to be exact. I’m fluent in Spanish thanks to my Peruvian mama and I’m a proud graduate of the University of Missouri, Columbia with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.

  • Started my career as a local TV news reporter, developing 3 core skills I carry into every project: a conversational writing style, zippy research skills, and the ability to interview anyone (like my one-on-one interview with President Barack Obama during my time at a CBS affiliate in Nevada).

  • I’ve worked for big name companies like TMZ and TBWA\Chiat\Day - Backslash and had my words and work published in Condé Nast travel ads, L.A. Downtowner, Eater L.A., L.A. Taco, HANA visual content agency, gry space, and Travel + Leisure.

During my free time I love to explore my city and take followers on that ride, free of charge via my Instagram feed: @blockanimal.

Please feel free to check out the links below showcasing the social content and stories I’ve worked on throughout the years. References upon request.

Thank you so much! Your consideration is very much appreciated. Hope to connect soon!
