The two people who plan your content are the two people who film it.

Everything we do
Nine ways we work, all of them run by the two of us
Eighty six packages across nine lanes. Some are bought off the page in a minute, some need a conversation first. Whichever you land on, the same two people plan it, film it, write it and report on it.
01 : Ongoing
Social media management
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn. Strategy, content, scheduling, community and a monthly report. Five plans, rolling monthly with two months notice.
From £149 a month
See the five plans02 : Per video
UGC creator video
Creator video in twelve product categories, four tiers in each. Filmed with the real product, scripted from your brief, delivered by shared Drive.
From £120 per video
Browse twelve categories03 : Build
WooCommerce stores
A complete store built from scratch, an audit of one you already have, or a shop retrofitted into a site you are keeping. Scope named, price with it.
From £445 audit, builds from £3,450
See the build packages04 : On location
Hospitality content
Hotels and restaurants, filmed on site. Reels, a long form property film and social stills from the same visit, formatted for feed and Stories.
From £650 per session
Hospitality hub05 : B2B
LinkedIn management
Personal brand management, lead generation and profile audits, run by a LinkedIn Top Entrepreneurship Voice in 2024 with a 25,000 network.
From £297 audit
LinkedIn services06 : For media buyers
Ad creative production
Volume creative with hook variations built in, so an ad account has something to test on day one rather than one asset and a hope.
From £650 per pack
See the packs07 : Our channels
Influencer packages
Posted on our accounts rather than yours: Velena on Instagram, Dragos on LinkedIn. A different purchase from UGC, and priced separately.
From £450 per post
See influencer packages08 : One off
Event coverage
On location coverage cut for social rather than a corporate highlight film nobody watches twice. Reels, Stories and a B-roll pack.
From £850 per event
See event packages09 : On the ground
Travel content
Destination and experience content filmed on location by both of us. The client covers travel for two and the fee is published on top of that.
From £1,200 per trip

How it actually runs
The people who plan it are the people who film it
Most agencies split the work: a strategist writes the deck, a junior schedules it, a freelancer shoots it and none of them speak. That is where content stops sounding like the brand and starts sounding like a brief being followed.
- One approval pass a month. The calendar arrives fully drafted with hook, caption and call to action on every post. Nothing goes live unapproved.
- Direct access, not a ticket queue. WhatsApp and email straight to us, replies within one business day.
- Two months notice, not a twelve month lock in. Long enough to be judged fairly, short enough to be a real exit.
Social media management
Five plans, rolling monthly
Four are management plans, meaning we run the channel. One is a content pack, meaning we make the posts and you publish them. The difference between them is how many platforms we cover and how much of the community work sits with us.
Rolling monthly with two months notice. No minimum term and no setup fees. Direct WhatsApp and email access with replies within one business day. Full comparison on the social media management page, and what the market charges is in our UK cost guide.
WooCommerce and websites
The store itself, not just the content for it
Everything else on this page is content that runs on a store. This is the store. Built on WordPress and WooCommerce, with the scope named on the page and the fee alongside it, and we run our own shops on exactly what we sell.
Store Build
A complete store from scratch. Up to 20 products loaded, payments, shipping and tax configured, 30 day snagging window after launch.
£3,450
one off
Store Audit
A written report on a store that already exists, up to 100 products. Speed, checkout, SEO and mobile, with the fixes ranked by what they are worth.
£445
one off
Retrofit
A shop added to a site you are keeping, rather than a rebuild you did not ask for. Cart and checkout inside your existing design.
£1,950
one off
Store Launch Bundle
The build, the local and search setup and three e-commerce UGC videos together. Saves 345 pounds against buying the three separately.
£3,995
one off, best value
- Care and growth plans after launch. Backups, updates, monitoring and a monthly allowance of changes, with the number of stores we take capped and published.
- Not the same thing as e-commerce UGC. That range is creator video for a store to publish. This is the store: built, audited, retrofitted or maintained. Plenty of brands buy both.
- Proof rather than promises. An 870 product store with worldwide shipping for a Louvre exhibited artist, and real PageSpeed scores published on the service page.
UGC video
Four of the twelve categories we film
Every category has its own packages page with published prices and its own portfolio page with real work. These four are where most briefs start.
Rose
Beauty and Skincare UGC
Skincare routines, GRWM, product reviews and paid ad creatives.
from £140 per video
See packages and portfolio
Wine
Hotels and Restaurants UGC
Suite reveals, dining, atmosphere and on-location content for hospitality.

Plum
Fashion and Clothing UGC
Try-on hauls, outfit styling, fit reviews and TikTok Shop content.
from £150 per video

GRWM, day in the life, morning routines and product integration.
from £130 per video
See packages and portfolioAll twelve categories, with published prices and a portfolio on every one:
Four tiers in every category. Portfolio hub or the full shop.
Hospitality
Hotels and restaurants, filmed on site
The only lane where we come to you. Seven packages covering one off shoots and monthly retainers, for properties and for restaurants, priced as on location days rather than per video because that is how the work actually happens.
Restaurants
A menu spotlight session of two to three hours, a full content day, or two visits a month on a retainer. Dishes, atmosphere and the room at service.
From £650 one off
Hotels
One to three nights on site with a stay, producing Reels, a long form property film and social stills from the same visit. Monthly retainer available.
From £1,950 one off
Or hand us the channel
Hospitality social media management, where the on location filming and the posting are the same arrangement rather than two suppliers who never speak.
From £399 a month
The work
An eleven month partnership with Picsart
Picsart is one of the world's leading AI-powered creative platforms. Velena Lifestyle produced original creator content for them across an eleven month partnership: concepts, filming, editing inside Picsart's own tools, captions and the approval workflow. Content produced for Picsart generated millions of views.

Months
Content partnership
Monthly Reels developed, filmed and edited end to end, running on the client's own channel rather than ours.

Every stage
Concept to caption
The same person appeared on camera, cut the video and wrote the caption. That is the whole model, not a claim about this one client.
Meet the founders
UGC video
Filmed with the real product, in twelve categories
Beauty, fashion, food and drink, wellness, jewellery, tech, software, e-commerce, lifestyle, testimonials, unboxing and paid ad creative. Every category has its own portfolio page and its own published prices, and every video is filmed and edited by the same person who appears in it.
- Four tiers in every category. The difference is scripting, hook count, usage rights and whether the raw footage comes with it.
- Rights stated on the card. Organic only means organic only, and we would rather say that before you order than refund it after.
- The same face across a campaign. A brand that books three videos gets one creator, not three freelancers who have never spoken. Start at the portfolio hub.
Proof
What a year of ongoing management produced
We have run organic social for the Snaptrip Group travel portfolio since September 2025. No shoot produced these numbers. The work was planning, producing, publishing and replying, every week. Growth is measured against the prior period and reported as growth only.
Source: Velena Lifestyle reporting on the Snaptrip Group portfolio, growth against the prior period since the September 2025 handover. Organic only, no paid campaign or revenue data. Two further brands are excluded because their prior period carried heavy paid spend, which would distort an organic comparison.
These are percentages from a low base, which is true of most accounts left to tick over, and they are organic, which is the harder half. Paid reach can be bought in an afternoon. This could not.

Who we are
Two founders, and they do the work
Based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Not a freelancer marketplace, not a content mill, and not an agency where your account manager changes every quarter.
Velena Nikolova
Co-Founder and Creative Director
Velena films, appears in and edits the content. Lifestyle and travel creator, 13,000 Instagram followers, featured in Women's Health. See the UGC portfolio.
Dragos Nistor
Co-Founder and Business Strategist
Dragos runs strategy, reporting and the commercial side. LinkedIn Top Entrepreneurship Voice in 2024, 25,000 network, guest lecturer at the University of Greenwich. See the case studies.
Free tools
Nine free tools for UK brands
Built for UK brands and creators to audit, plan and price their social. No sign up and no email capture, because a calculator that holds your result hostage is not a tool.
FAQ
Common questions
Velena Lifestyle is a UK social media marketing agency based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. It provides social media management, UGC video, WooCommerce store builds and LinkedIn services. It was founded by Velena Nikolova, Creative Director, and Dragos Nistor, Business Strategist, and the agency has been featured in Women's Health.
Yes, and that is the point. Every account is run by the founders, so the person planning your content is the person who films it, writes it and reports on it. No handovers and no junior account manager. It also means we take a limited number of clients at a time.
Plans start at £149 a month and run to £2,499, and the ladder is on this page. Four are management plans where we run the channel, and one is a content pack where we make the posts and you publish them. All are rolling monthly with two months notice, no minimum term and no setup fees.
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn. How many we cover is set by your plan, from one platform on the content pack up to five on Elite. We will tell you if we think a platform is not worth your time rather than list it to pad the tier.
UGC is creator video made for your brand rather than for our channel. We film it across twelve product categories, from beauty and fashion to software and hospitality, and it starts at £120 a video. Every tier is priced on the category page, and the tiers differ on scripting, hook count, usage rights and whether the raw footage is included.
Yes, on WordPress and WooCommerce, at published fixed prices rather than from a quote. A complete store build is £3,450, an audit of a store you already have is £445, and a shop retrofitted into a site you are keeping is £1,950. Scope, portfolio and real PageSpeed scores are on the WooCommerce agency page. We have also built an 870 product store with worldwide shipping for a Louvre exhibited artist.
UGC is video made for you to publish on your own channels. An influencer package is a post on ours, Velena on Instagram or Dragos on LinkedIn, reaching our audience rather than producing an asset for yours. Different products, priced separately, and brands sometimes buy both for the same launch.
Yes. Hospitality is filmed on site at hotels and restaurants, and events and travel are filmed on location by both of us. The South East is covered as standard, UK wide travel is available, and international is quoted individually. On travel bookings the client covers travel for two and the fee is published on top of that.
Organic growth across the Snaptrip Group travel portfolio since September 2025, reported as percentage growth against the prior period, and an eleven month content partnership with Picsart. Individual client figures that are confidential to the client are not published here, which is why you will see percentages rather than raw view counts.
Tell us about the brand through the contact page. We reply within one business day with the plan we would actually put you on, and if that is the cheapest thing we sell, we will say so. There is no pitch deck and no discovery call series.
