Hi, I’m Elsie Benitez. I’m a producer and event-support professional currently working with iHeartMedia in Burbank, CA, where I help connect music, artists, and fans while coordinating live and on-air events. I regularly attend New Music Meetings with Assistant PDs for KIIS FM and Real 92.3 to understand research and insight that informs on-air music decisions, and I collaborate with label executives to pitch artists and plan promotional activities. I also support station pop-ups, set up and break down gear, and ensure smooth execution by coordinating with fans, event organizers, brand managers, and store leadership to maximize engagement and reach. I excel at organizing content and talent for morning shows, producing on-air and online segments, and handling end-to-end event logistics. I’ve stage-managed prominent live events (Wango Tango, iHeart Music Festival, Beach Life Festival, Jingle Ball), curated behind-the-scenes content, and managed social media recaps. I also produce the morning show’s podcast, from tracking audio to creating episode titles and descriptions, and uploading to social platforms daily.
