Throughout her career, Edelman has created campaigns for major entertainment studios. She spent 20 years at Warner Bros. in multiple departments and positions, including VP, Worldwide Marketing, Programming and Acquisitions as well as VP, Direct to Consumer Marketing in its home entertainment division. She has held senior roles at some of the most innovative digital media companies in the business, including Head of Growth at Premiere Digital and EVP of Marketing & Content Strategy at Vubiquity.
Edelman has earned numerous industry accolades, including recognition among the Top 40 in Streaming Media, Digital Drivers, the Women in Home Entertainment Award, and the entertainment industry's Wonder Woman Award. She has been honored by OTT.X for her community and industry contributions, received the University of Rhode Island Dean's List Distinguished Achievement Award, CTAM's Rainmaker Award and Chairman's Award, and was named to CableFax's Top 100 Power List of Executives.
