About Sam Escobar

Hi! I’m an editor, writer, and content strategist based in New York City. In my most recent full-time role as site director of Allure Magazine, I worked on all things related to digital strategy, whether it was optimizing editorial packages, launching newsletters aiming to diversify the site’s referral sources, or brainstorming fresh ways to grow traffic, search rankings, and commerce revenue without sacrificing the authoritative brand voice and integrity the publication is famous for. I’m still an editor at heart and always love to pitch, write, and edit. I have a particular soft spot for reporting niche beauty, wellness, and culture stories.In my spare time, I love creating calligraphy projects, watching every astronomy documentary on PBS, and practicing Spanish and Russian.
