Élevé [ay-leh-vay]: (v.) to rise
We design content and strategy that lifts your brand to its highest expression.
We don’t just create content.
We craft a feeling.
Élevé is a boutique creative studio and content agency rooted in the belief that storytelling and strategy go hand-in-hand. We specialize in scroll-stopping, emotionally resonant content that elevates brands beyond trends — through thoughtful visuals, compelling narratives, and connection-first marketing. From beauty to fashion, wellness to lifestyle, we partner with brands that prioritize aesthetic integrity and want to be remembered for more than just a product.
Our work spans content creation, campaign development, social storytelling, and on-site brand coverage — serving small and emerging businesses who have big visions but limited time, resources, or team bandwidth. Whether we're capturing your latest product launch, building user-generated content for paid ads, designing timeless editorial assets, or helping you define your brand’s mission, our approach is intentional, elevated, and emotionally intelligent.
Meet our Founder
Grace Lynn Keller is a Chicago-based content creator, brand strategist, and the founder of Élevé. With a background in journalism and digital marketing, Grace brings a unique blend of storytelling, strategy, and creative vision to every project she touches.
A classically trained ballerina who trained pre-professionally for over a decade, Grace’s eye for detail, movement, and visual harmony is at the core of her creative approach. She holds a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Iowa, where she also studied marketing and public relations. Before launching her own studio, she worked at an Iowa-based production and marketing agency, developing social media and content strategies for companies across several sectors, including healthcare, finance, fitness, beauty and more.
Grace founded Élevé — a term that means “to rise” in ballet — as a way to merge her love of storytelling and aesthetic excellence with a mission to help brands connect more deeply and authentically with their audience. She believes in the power of beautiful content with a backbone of data-driven strategy, and she’s passionate about helping brands show up intentionally, creatively, and confidently in the digital world.
