ABOUT
The Miele Agency
Rooted in strategy. Built on creativity. Designed for connection.
Miele means “honey” in Italian — a nod to the way we work: with intention, collaboration, and a touch of sweetness. We’re not just consultants; we’re partners. From bold startups to evolving brands, we guide our clients through every stage of growth with strategy, storytelling, and stunning visuals.
Founded by Elaine Zelker, Miele Agency blends years of branding, photography, and marketing expertise into one seamless experience. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter. We believe in clarity, confidence, and campaigns that actually work.
Our Mission
To transform brands through intentional strategy, compelling storytelling, and creative execution — with partnership at the core of everything we do.
Our Values
Creative with Purpose
Design and content should do more than look good — they should work hard, communicate clearly, and move your audience to act.
Strategy Before Execution
We lead with intention. Every brand, every campaign, every post is rooted in strategy — not guesswork.
True Collaboration
We’re not here to impose. We co-create with our clients, becoming partners who listen, guide, and build alongside you.
Growth with Integrity
We focus on what matters most — building brands that grow sustainably and show up authentically, without chasing trends.
Clarity Over Noise
In a world overloaded with content, we help you rise above with messaging and visuals that cut through and connect.
Why the Bee?
The bee has always been more than a symbol — it's a reflection of how I work, how I lead, and what I believe in.
I’m a mother to three daughters, and originally dreamed of creating something called The Hive — a collaborative, energized hub where creativity buzzes, ideas are nurtured, and every person has a purpose. A place where I could lead with strength and clarity, like a queen bee guiding her swarm, not with ego, but with intention.
While The Hive name was already well-traveled, the heart of that vision remained — and so the bee stayed.
Bees are focused, hardworking, and mission-driven. They build. They pollinate. They nourish. And they do it in community. That’s how I see Miele Agency.
At Miele, we lead with strategy, work with precision, and move with purpose — always focused on growth. We collaborate like a hive: everyone has a role, every detail matters, and the result is something bigger, sweeter, and more beautiful than what any of us could create alone.
Miele means honey in Italian — and honey is the byproduct of focused effort, harmony, and time. That’s the work we do here.
Sweet. Strategic. And built to last.
