How to read them

What a figure on this site means.

Every figure has a windowEach case study states the start date, the end date and the source.
Organic is stated as organicWhere there was ad spend we say so. The Purgatory and Snaptrip figures carry none.
Client press stays the client'sConde Nast, TimeOut and Vogue are achievements of the businesses we work for. Our own press is a feature in Women's Health.
Our own brand is labelledHoneyBee & Co. is ours, not a client, and says so.
Small numbers are published tooNo Escape London's figures are modest and honest; most businesses are closer to that page than to a viral one.
Nothing beyond the pageClient confidentiality limits what we publish; anything not on the page is not for print.

“Fantastic service. Been a client for 3 years now and have seen fantastic results, increased viewers, followers and viral videos. Copywriting was on point and has been used in magazines like Conde Nast, Timeout and more.”

Questions

Before you get in touch

Who does the work?

Velena and Dragos. Velena films, edits and appears on camera; Dragos runs the briefs, the schedule and the delivery. No account manager, no subcontractor.

Can I speak to a client?

Ask on a call. Where a client is happy to talk, we will put you in touch.

Why are some numbers small?

Because they are true. A portfolio of only viral results tells a prospect with a niche audience nothing.

Are any of the results paid?

Where there was ad spend, the page says so. The social media figures on these pages are organic.

Who leads the work

One team, from the first idea to the finished post.

Velena Lifestyle is a social media and content agency in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. Everything is created in house, by our own team. You have one point of contact from the first brief to the final delivery.
