High Wycombe, BuckinghamshireUK studio, worldwide clients
The social media marketing agency for brands worth following
Social media management, UGC video, WooCommerce stores and LinkedIn, for brands in the UK and worldwide. Every account is planned, filmed and edited by the founders themselves. No juniors, no subcontractors, no handovers, and a deliberately short client list.
Where most brands start
Building or fixing the store itself starts at £445 for an audit. Tell us about the brand and we reply within one business day with the plan we would actually put you on, including when that is the cheapest thing we sell.

Brands who keep coming back
Who we work with
Client press in Vogue, Conde Nast and TimeOut belongs to those clients. Our own press is a feature in Women's Health, and we keep the two apart. Read the case studies.
Everything we do
Two disciplines we are known for, and seven that grew from them
Eighty six packages across nine lines, and they are not equals. Social media management and UGC video are the business. The other seven exist because clients on those two kept asking for them, and they are run to the same standard by the same two people.
The two most brands come for
01 : Ongoing
Social media management
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn. Strategy, content, scheduling, community and a monthly report. Five plans, rolling monthly on 2 months notice.

UGC creator video

Travel content

Social media management
Five plans, rolling monthly
Four are management plans, meaning we run the channel. One is a content pack, meaning we make the posts and you publish them. The difference between them is how many platforms we cover and how much of the community work sits with us.
- One approval pass a monthThe calendar arrives fully drafted, with the hook, the caption and the call to action written on every post, within 5 working days of the brief in the first month. Nothing goes live unapproved.
- Direct access, not a ticket queueWhatsApp and email straight to the two of us, with replies within one business day.
- 2 months notice, not a twelve month lock inLong enough that the work can be judged fairly, short enough that leaving is a real option rather than a threat.
- We will tell you to spend lessIf the cheapest plan is the right one, we say so. A brand pushed onto a tier it cannot feed produces worse content and leaves in four months.
Prices are in pounds sterling and no VAT is added. If you are ordering from outside the UK your card issuer sets the exchange rate, and anything due in your own country is outside our invoice.
Full comparison on the social media management page, and what the market charges is in our UK cost guide.
UGC video
Twelve categories, four tiers in each
Creator video filmed with your actual product, in the category your buyer already understands. Every category has its own packages page and its own portfolio of finished work, and the tier decides the scripting, the hook count, the usage rights and whether the raw footage comes with it.
Start at the portfolio hub, where every category shows finished client work before it shows a price.
WooCommerce and websites
The store itself, not only the content that runs on it
Everything else on this page is content that runs on a store. This is the store. Built on WordPress and WooCommerce, and we run our own shops on exactly what we sell, which is the part most agencies cannot say.
| Package | What it is | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Store Build | A complete store from scratch. Up to 20 products loaded, payments, shipping and tax configured, a 30 day snagging window after launch | £3,450 |
| Store Audit | A written report on a store that already exists, up to 100 products. Speed, checkout, SEO and mobile, with the fixes ranked by what they are worth | £445 |
| Retrofit | A shop added to a site you are keeping, rather than a rebuild you did not ask for. Cart and checkout inside your existing design | £1,950 |
| Store Launch Bundle | The build, the local and search setup and three e-commerce UGC videos together, saving 345 pounds against buying them separately | £3,995 |
Proof rather than promises: an 870 product store with worldwide shipping for a Louvre exhibited artist, written up in the Silvi the Artist case study, and our own brand in the HoneyBee and Co. build. Scope and PageSpeed scores are on the WooCommerce agency page.
Proof
What a year of ongoing management produced
Four numbers from three different clients and three different disciplines. None came from a single shoot. They came from planning, producing, publishing and replying, every week, for months. Each one names its window and its source on the case study it belongs to, including the metrics that fell.
Sources: Meta Business Suite. Purgatory Bar, 1 January to 1 June 2026, zero ad spend, in the Purgatory case study. Snaptrip Group, September 2025 to June 2026, organic only, in the Snaptrip case study. The 870 product store is the Silvi the Artist build. No revenue data is published, because it belongs to the client.
Case studies
Documented, not rounded up
Every result is written up with the window it covers and the source it came from. Where a figure fell rather than rose, the page says so.
- 1Purgatory Bar, 4.1M Instagram views
A London venue on retainer since 2023. One Reel reached three million views organically, with zero ad spend across the whole period. Read it.
- 2Snaptrip Group, seven travel brands
Eleven accounts across three platforms, run as seven separate voices with one quality bar. Read it.
- 3Silvi the Artist, 870 products
A WooCommerce store built from nothing for a Louvre exhibited painter, with worldwide shipping and daily management since launch. Read it.
How it actually runs
Why the work is better when nobody hands it over
Every handover costs something nobody wrote down
Most agencies split the work. A strategist writes the deck, a junior schedules it, a freelancer shoots it, and none of the three ever speak. What gets lost at each handover is the part nobody wrote down, which is why so much agency content is technically correct and completely flat. Here the person who developed the idea is the person on camera and the person in the edit, and the standard survives the whole way through.
The client list is short on purpose
Doing the work rather than delegating it puts a hard ceiling on how many brands we can hold, so we run a deliberately short list and turn down work we would have enjoyed. That is the trade. You get the founders on your account every month; we do not get to be everywhere.
Who we are the wrong agency for
A brand needing twenty assets a week across six markets should hire a production company, not us. A brand that wants an agency to own the strategy while nobody internally has time to approve anything will be disappointed, because the approval pass is a real step and it needs a real person. And a brand looking for the cheapest supplier will find one, because there is always someone cheaper than two founders doing the work themselves. We would rather say that here than three months into a retainer.
What we will not do
Invent a result, publish a figure we cannot source, claim a client's press as our own, or run an undisclosed paid partnership. Those are not positioning, they are the reason a percentage on this site can be checked against the case study it came from.

Questions
Common questions
Velena Lifestyle is a social media and digital marketing agency based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, working with brands in the UK and worldwide. It provides social media management, UGC creator video, WooCommerce store builds and LinkedIn services. It was founded by Velena Nikolova, Creative Director, and Dragos Nistor, Business Strategist, and has been featured in Women's Health.
The founders, every month, from the first brief to the last hand off. Velena develops the idea, appears on camera and edits it. Dragos writes the strategy, runs the schedule and reports on it. Nothing is delegated to a junior and nothing is subcontracted, which is also why the client list is short and why we sometimes say we are full.
Plans run from £149 a month to £2,499, and the whole ladder is on this page. Four are management plans where we run the channel, and one is a content pack where we make the posts and you publish them. All run rolling monthly on 2 months notice, with no minimum term and no setup fees.
Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn. How many we cover is set by the plan, from one platform on the content pack up to five on Elite. We will tell you if a platform is not worth your time rather than list it to pad a tier.
UGC is creator video made for your brand to publish on your own channels, rather than a post on ours. We film it across twelve product categories from beauty and fashion to software and hospitality, starting at £120 a video. The tiers differ on scripting, hook count, usage rights and whether the raw footage is included.
Yes, on WordPress and WooCommerce. A store audit is £445, a complete build is £3,450, and a shop retrofitted into a site you are keeping is £1,950. We have built an 870 product store with worldwide shipping for a Louvre exhibited artist, and we run our own shop on the same stack.
UGC is video made for you to publish on your own channels. An influencer package is a post on ours, Velena on Instagram or Dragos on LinkedIn, reaching our audience rather than producing an asset for yours. They are different products, priced separately, and brands sometimes buy both for the same launch.
Yes. Social media management, LinkedIn and website work are location independent and already run for brands outside the UK. Filmed UGC needs the product posted to our Buckinghamshire address, so an overseas brief adds shipping time rather than complexity. On location work carries a stated travel supplement rather than a surprise on the invoice.
2.6 million organic views across the Snaptrip Group travel portfolio since September 2025, 4.1 million Instagram views for Purgatory Bar in five months with no ad spend, and an eleven month content partnership with Picsart. Every figure names its window and its source on the case study it comes from, including the metrics that fell.
Tell us about the brand through the contact page. We reply within one business day with the plan we would actually put you on, and if that is the cheapest thing we sell we will say so. There is no pitch deck and no series of discovery calls.
