Our story

A creator and a strategist, one agency.

Velena Lifestyle began as a creative vision: Velena's work in content and social media, and Dragos's background in business. What started as a shared wish to build brands that feel real has grown into an agency serving restaurants and hotels, online shops and corporate clients, in the UK, Europe and beyond.

We shoot, travel and create the way we do for our clients, which is why the work looks like it was made by people rather than by a department. You can see how we think in our 2026 report on UK hospitality social media.

Creator ledVelena is an active creator; we make content the way audiences watch it.

Long termOur clients stay for years, on month to month agreements.
