EditorNinja, the subscription-based editing service built for content marketers, agencies, and brands, today announced that it has been acquired by Proofed, the largest editorial services provider for content teams. The acquisition represents a significant step forward in EditorNinja’s mission to help businesses produce high-quality content at scale, while giving clients access to a deeper editorial bench, enhanced technology, and expanded support.
Proofed CEO Adam Harvey said, “EditorNinja has built a strong reputation for helping businesses produce high-quality content at speed, and we’re thrilled to welcome their clients into the Proofed ecosystem. This acquisition accelerates our shared vision for the future of editorial support: expert humans, best-in-class technology, delivered with the flexibility content teams depend on. Together, we’re creating the most robust, scalable editorial solution on the market.”
As part of the acquisition, EditorNinja clients will gain immediate and long-term benefits, including:
- A larger, more specialized editorial team with expertise across additional industries, formats, and content types
- Enhanced editorial workflows and platform capabilities, including upcoming AI-assisted features
- A human-in-the-loop editorial model optimized for both AI-generated and human-written content
- Expanded account-level support, including access to dedicated account management
The transition of EditorNinja clients to Proofed’s platform and services is expected to be completed by Q1 of 2026. This approach is designed to maintain service continuity, protect editorial consistency, and ensure a smooth, supported onboarding experience.
“For years, I’ve admired the quality, scale, and innovation that Proofed brings to editorial operations,” EditorNinja founder and CEO John Doherty said. “In my mind, they’ve been our only real competitor, and I’m confident that EditorNinja clients will not only feel at home with Proofed, but will thrive with the expanded capabilities available to them.”
For EditorNinja, the acquisition marks the natural evolution of a company built to help teams produce better content more efficiently. Proofed’s operational scale and technology ecosystem will allow EditorNinja’s philosophy and service model to reach more teams and adapt to the rapidly changing content environment.
