Lana Mercedez, Creative Consulting

Strategy meets storytelling.

Transforming business goals into captivating brand experiences.

I'm Lana, a seasoned marketing professional with over a decade of experience translating complex business goals into clear, actionable, and emotionally resonant steps. My approach is rooted in psychographic segmentation and process excellence, ensuring your brand not only looks exceptional but operates with precision. I focus on building scalable systems, elevating brand identity, and deploying content that genuinely connects with your audience's aspirations.

My expertise in psychographic segmentation has consistently led to a 30%+ uplift in campaign conversion rates by moving beyond demographics to target consumers based on their values, attitudes, and lifestyles. This deep understanding of why customers buy is complemented by a rigorous focus on process improvement. I believe an effective and efficient business practice is the cornerstone of successful scaling; by streamlining workflows and eliminating redundancies, I ensure marketing resources are deployed optimally, maximizing both ROI and team productivity.
