Hire the Best Playful Freelancers in California

Hi there! I am a writer in the Los Angeles area. I'm here to help you take your work to the next level. Whether you need a full blog post or social media post written, or you just want to add some extra humor to your web page, novel, or script, I've got you covered. I work with all kinds of documents, including essays, manuscripts, memos, emails, ad copy, web pages, and more. I'm skilled at providing the kind of humor that is required of the project, whether that's light chuckles for an otherwise dry conference speech, or taking an existing punchline to the next level. I'm always sure to make suggestions that are appropriate to the tone and type of piece it is. I also offer basic notes and proofreading help when needed. I have over 250 five-star reviews for my work on Fiverr, but I'm trying to navigate away from them. I'm looking forward to working with you! Arielle

Brand new to Upwork! I'm a published fiction writer and an illustrator. I'd love to help you make that story you've been dreaming about a reality, co-create that comic or that children's book you've wanted to see out in the world.

A Creative Director for Entertainment, Sports & Media who works as a trusted Creative Partner to help ambitious, audience-facing brands tell stories that matter. Great ideas deserve to be seen, understood, and remembered. As a Creative Director, I partner with brands, creators, and organizations to transform ideas into compelling presentations, media kits, websites, and promotional experiences that captivate audiences and inspire confidence—helping you attract audiences, investors, sponsors, and new opportunities. My work spans film, television, sports, music, live events, and other audience-facing brands, with projects ranging from film and television pitch decks to investor presentations, media kits, sponsorship decks, and promotional websites. Combining strategic thinking, design, copywriting and AI-enhanced creative tools, I help clients shape stories that elevate brands, engage audiences, and stand out in competitive markets. I believe the best creative work happens through partnership. That's why many of my clients view me as a Creative Partner rather than a traditional freelancer—someone they trust to shape the story, elevate the brand, and guide the creative process from concept to completion. My approach is simple: the 3D Creative Process—Discovery, Development, and Delivery. 1 • DISCOVERY Understand your vision, audience, and goals. 2 • DEVELOPMENT Shape the story, messaging, and visual experience. 3 • DELIVERY Refine every detail and prepare materials that are ready to impress. SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS: • Created a feature film pitch deck that helped attract a Martin Scorsese attachment for a project now in post-production • Developed a TV pitch deck that led to an in-person Netflix meeting • Branded and built a survivor's online platform—creating the identity, website, and content strategy that transformed a deeply personal story into a movement, leading to a TEDx Talk, a feature in People Magazine, and a devoted community of followers sharing similar experiences. • Developed a personal brand and media kit for a Major League Baseball All-Star pitcher that continues to support sponsorship opportunities and brand growth • Experience includes projects for: National Hockey League, NFL, Sports Illustrated Kids, Nike, Hasbro, FAO Schwarz, Comedy Central, TNT, USA Networks, Hulu, Warner Bros., Google, American Express, and Coca-Cola.

I've built Amazon brands from scratch—and scaled established ones to 8 figures. For ten years, I co-founded and entirely operated an Amazon-native baby brand—nights and weekends while working full-time. That means I handled everything myself: PPC strategy and daily management, listing optimization, A+ content, inventory planning, profitability tracking, pricing strategy, influencer collaborations, Brand Store builds, and Prime Day execution. The brand reached $800K/year and $6M in lifetime revenue without outside capital, agencies, or a team. I know what it's like to watch every dollar of ad spend, make tough calls on inventory with your own money on the line, and optimize listings at 11pm because that's when you have time. I also spent three years as Digital Marketing Director at Jakks Pacific, a publicly traded toy company, where I led their Amazon advertising strategy and helped shape the broader channel approach — introducing advanced keyword research, A/B testing, listing optimization, and a complete overhaul of their image stack and infographic storytelling, none of which existed before I arrived. U.S. Amazon revenue grew from $33M to $54M, with $13M of that growth directly attributed to advertising I managed, while overseeing up to $875K in annual ad spend across licensed properties including Disney, Super Mario, and Harry Potter. I also ran PPC across their international Amazon marketplaces — UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain — bringing total Amazon revenue to $60M. Today my freelance clients include Pets + People, where I work as an Amazon copywriter and keyword researcher for some of the most recognized brands in American households — Arm & Hammer, Clorox, Burt's Bees for Pets, Glad, Milk-Bone, Jif, and Dole for Pets. Before digital marketing, I spent nearly a decade as a designer and art director. For larger brands with creative teams already in place, this means I speak that language fluently — I can give meaningful feedback on main images and A+ content, spot what's not converting and why, and work seamlessly alongside your creative team in a way most Amazon strategists can't. For smaller brands and startups, I can do it all myself: keyword research, listing copy, main images, A+ content, infographics, Brand Store builds, and PPC — everything you need to launch and grow without hiring multiple specialists. If you want someone who's done this work at every level — bootstrapped solo founder, corporate advertising director, enterprise CPG freelancer — and who will treat your brand like it matters because I've run one myself, let's talk.
