ROSE
DE LEON
Storytelling is my jam. Short or long.
("That's what she said." - Michael Scott)
I’m Rose De Leon, a marketing copywriter based just outside of Chicago. Take a look at my portfolio and see how I blend my editing and writing background with creativity and strategic marketing.
WHAT I DO
I strive to deliver only the utmost professionalism, creativity and results-driven success to help your business grow. How do I accomplish this? Straight up tenacity, creativity and humor. And not necessarily in that order.



COPYWRITING
Engage & Influence
Simply put — I like belonging to a brand. I like familiarizing myself with the nuances of an organization's message and finding new ways to communicate and reinforce that unique branding. Currently, I research, write and edit content for print and web, email campaigns and other marketing collateral.
COPY EDITING
It was my life for a long time
I’m an experienced copy editor and page designer, and have worked for publications such as Erie Times-News, Telegraph Herald, In These Times, The News & Advance, Danville Register & Bee, The Daily Progress, Northwest Herald, Kane County Chronicle and DeKalb Daily Chronicle.
AWARDS
The Humble Brag (aka my nightmare)
In 2014, I won two first-place awards for best headline writing — one from the Illinois Press Association, and the other from the Northern Illinois Newspaper Association.
​
I've also won a few college journalism awards for Editorial, Opinion and Newswriting.
