I’m Lani Allen, a seasoned creative strategist, AI enthusiast, photographer, and marketing consultant working with commercial businesses, hospitality brands, and service based companies ready to strengthen their visibility and connection.

My background spans high level brand strategy and campaign development for global companies including Marvel, Mattel, Kodak, and Motorola. Years in corporate environments shaped my expertise in promotions, storytelling, and audience psychology. Opening my own commercial and editorial photography studio in the San Francisco Bay Area and owning a top performing restaurant in Costa Rica, expanded that work, grounding strategy in visual identity, emotion, and trust.

Today, I blend corporate strategy with creative intuition to help businesses clarify who they are, how they show up, and how they connect online and in real life. My work includes social media marketing, brand storytelling, visual direction, promotions, and event creation for hospitality, lifestyle, and service based brands seeking cohesion rather than noise.

My approach combines strategy, psychology, and storytelling. You do not need to go viral, you need to be clear, consistent, and heard. Clients often call me a “Social Media Therapist” because we remove the overwhelm that blocks momentum and build systems that feel aligned and sustainable.

I also serve as a Board Member of Mano Amiga in San Miguel de Allende, supporting women through zero percent microloans and mentorship.

I work as a marketing consultant and accountability coach across brand strategy, content creation, promotions, events, and social media. If you have built something real but are struggling to translate it into resonance and visibility, I help you find your rhythm and move forward with clarity.
