Carolina Cardona’s Summary

I have worked in the leisure and luxury lifestyle industry since 2001. My experience as a luxury magazine editor and writer for the OCEAN DRIVE brand of regional luxury magazines has afforded me a unique insider knowledge of the South Florida high-end market. I have immersed myself in the world of luxury goods, products and services, all while establishing valuable connections among the most affluent, powerful and discriminating consumers of this region. Previous experience includes five years as a staff writer for the internationally renowned VANIDADES magazine where I covered subjects ranging from fashion to beauty, celebrity, lifestyle, royalty, nightlife and women's health.
Currently, I work as an in-house Media Consultant Level Magazine, a new cutting edge lifestyle publication that targets the young and trendy Hispanic. At Level, we represent the tastemaker and the sophisticated bicultural individual who resides within the front lines of inspiration and innovation, all while celebrating True Latin Pop Culture in our language.
Through sophisticated design and sharp, intelligent journalism, Level not only embraces the highest standards in print, but has fully integrated digital, mobile and web-based initiatives to convey our message to meet the new demands of our changing market.

Areas of expertise and topics of interest range from fashion to beauty, women’s health, celebrities, relationships, luxury, film, music, dinning, wine and spirits, lifestyle, travel, pop culture, literature and academic, comics and geek stuff (videogames, tech and gadgets), in English and Spanish.

As second in command to our Editor-in-Chief, I assigned and edited all writing tasks, implemented the style and format guidelines and enforced our editorial deadlines. Worked closely with photographers, publicists and talent. I had three monthly columns and several features in each issue, I wrote and edited various articles in English and Spanish on diverse subjects: from entertainment, to fashion, to beauty, travel, spirits, high-end dinning, society and the local scene, and I also interviewed celebrities, designers and known personalities for Ocean Drive Español and various other Niche Media publications.
