where strategy meets soul—my story

Hi there! I’m Lana.

Since I was 18 I’ve been immersed in brand building, and started Revive Media after building a digital presence from the ground up as a social media & marketing director with many hats.

Through that experience, I learned what a brand really is—and discovered that most marketing approaches feel fake and overwhelming, especially when you don't have a clear brand foundation.

I wanted a better way—one that honors both strategic depth and authentic expression—so I built it.

my proven approach

What makes my work different isn't just the design—it's the strategic foundation I build first.

I dive deep into your world to understand what makes your business irreplaceable, asking questions you might not have thought to ask and uncovering insights that bring clarity to confusion.

My clients consistently tell me I have a gift for translating their "mess" into something clear and magnetic. There's something about the thoughtfulness and energy behind my work that creates designs you can't quite describe but immediately recognize as special.

What You Can Expect

→ Collaborative partnership

This isn't about me imposing my vision on your business. It's about discovering your vision together and bringing it to life authentically.

→ Grounded, inspiring energy

I bring a calm confidence that makes the process feel supportive rather than overwhelming.

→ Strategic clarity

I don't just make things look pretty—I uncover the authentic core of your business and translate it into design that works strategically.

→ Sustainable processes

Everything I do is designed to support your long-term success without burning you out or forcing you to be someone you're not.

beyond the work

When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me on the golf course or at the range dialing in my swing whenever I get the chance. I’m usually listening to podcasts, doing mindset work, going to the gym or walkies with my dog, looking for clothes that aren’t sweats (but probably still gym clothes), and always learning something new about this industry.

I’m passionate about helping businesses succeed and tell their story—and I'm here to help you tell it in a way that feels authentic, strategic, and irresistibly magnetic to the people you're meant to serve.
