About Ellen Tailor

As a professional multimedia talent with over 15 years of experience, I have proven success across a variety of platforms including radio, television, digital news, podcasting, social media and even e-commerce. I seek to work with individuals and organizations that are brave enough to evolve from industry norms and want to become trailblazers. Currently, I lead the social media department at Straight Arrow News, a digital news organization that delivers unbiased, straight facts. My mission is to build a thriving and interactive community between SAN and its audience, and to create a cult brand that stands out in the crowded media landscape. My passion thrives in the sports industry world. I build brands for athletes as individuals and their products. From college NIL deals to active players and even legends, I thoroughly enjoy coaching athletes as they navigate the stages of their career and exploring all opportunities to build lifelong financial and personal success.
