My name is Marina Escalas…
I currently work with Music Corporation of America (formerly Universal Music Group – Nashville) as a Digital Content Specialist, where I administer in-house creative needs for the digital marketing team supporting over 40 frontline artists by creating animated assets across diverse platforms (from social media to 40’ billboards). I am an expert at editing and delivering shortform and medium-form videos for social media/streaming platforms. Prior to working at MCA, I was a Production Coordinator at Sound Off Productions, live streaming events such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits. I graduated in 2022 from Indiana University with a degree in Film, Television, and Digital Production, specializing in Editing and Postproduction. While in college, I worked as a Content Intern at Circle Media, where I cut and curated content for linear broadcast networks, AVOD channels, and social media platforms. I was raised in Nashville, Tennessee, but I am a citizen of both Spain and the United States. My career goals are to work in entertainment, advertising, or sports industries as production coordinator, associate director, postproduction editor, or content creator.
