About Ellana Sloan

I\'m an analyst-turned-strategist with a passion for pushing brands to be a force for good. I\'m also proudly a fourth-generation vegetarian, now turned vegan, who\'s full of hot takes and has just the right amount of skepticism to not take client problems at face value, challenge them to think about intersectional issues, and never settle for a brief targeted towards the general public. As the self-titled \"purveyor of truth\"(aka unofficial client therapist), I take an art and science approach to my work to uncover the aha moment that sits at the intersection of consumer mindsets, cultural tensions, and unique brand offerings.Client Experience: NBC, United Nations General Compact, Unilever, Taco Bell, PayPal, Under Armour, HPE, Xbox, Bath & Body Works, Hornitos, VWKey capabilities: brand + message strategy, insights, communications strategy + media planning, qualitative research, persona development, trend forecasting
