How Dotdash Meredith is getting work done on Upwork

Editorial Writers Alleviate Tight Schedules

The Problem:

In 2021, leaders from 13 different brands told us that current vendors were not cutting it for their social media strategy. Due to the labor market challenges and Great Resignation, they are not able to fill headcount needs.

The Solution:

Upwork is able to connect Dotdash Meredith brands to writers in less than 3 days to meet tight social media timelines and ensure Editorial Schedule Deadlines are met.

The Impact:

Not only was the freelancer a superb fit for the opportunity, but he also dedicated over 1,300 hours of work in just 10 months. This well-rounded professional played a key role in demand generation and project management, while simultaneously supporting team members whenever needed.

Video Training Facilitation

The Problem:

In 2021, Investopedia needed to create 50+ videos explaining financial terms. They were struggling to find any production agencies that could turn these around on their schedule and within budget.

The Solution:

The team worked with BluLux Media, one of our Expert Vetted Agencies, and was able to complete all of these videos in just 2 months.

The Impact:

Team was able to be at a 50% cost savings vs their budget.
