ELLE CAN
TELL YOU A
GOOD STORY,
OR TWO.
With sand in her shoes and creativity on her brain, Elle explores the untamed wild of today’s ever-so connected digital age with a dog named Bubba.
Here's the story
It was while growing up at the heart of an entrepreneurial community, alongside impassioned creators gathered 'round the campfire to share inspired stories on starry nights, that Elle first realized the impact of using good storytelling for better business communication.
Since that epiphany, she found her creative calling: bringing people together through stories of substance, connected experiences and the tools to drive it all forward.
As a marketing strategist, she has made a good impact for over 15-years working with brands to reimagine the future and reinvent their story for a new connected world. From global Fortune 100 companies to emerging start-ups and nonprofits, Elle has created stories of substance, marketing solutions, social impact and product innovations that build brands, grow businesses, and bring communities together around what matters most—the human connection.
The results? It works. It connected. It's made a good impact on the brands, their businesses, and the communities they serve. It’s been recognized across print, social, and broadcast media. It put very big smiles on very happy clients. Even brought home an award, or two.
So, who is she, really? Elle values people, family, culture, depth and creative expression. Her approach to work is the same as in life, with a whole lot of heart, an open mind and some chutzpah.
These days you can find Elle where the wild things are in Sweet Home, Chicago. When she isn’t creating, she’s in her backyard sanctuary conversing with 200-year-old oak trees, huddled around the fireplace with a dog named Bubba, and likely noshing on s'mores with a little wild child of her own. While, naturally, still gazing up in wonder at starry nights.
STORYTELLER BY DAY. STARGAZER BY NIGHT. INNOVATOR BY BLOOD. CREATIVE BY NATURE. BRAND BUILDER BY TRADE.
“I believe in the power of a good story—ones about real people with inspiring ideas, coming together, taking roads less traveled, armed with nothing but a passion to make a real good impact in the world and on each other.”
— Elle Kane
Along the way, she finds new roads to help brands communicate their story, cultivate a community, and build for the future.

The Gist is...
The gist is that Elle is a solver of problems, weaver of cultures, and maker of things. Things that get people talking and get brands noticed. Good things that make a real good impact. But she doesn’t simply make these things. No, Elle makes the connections between people and things: The story that inspires action. The dialogue that builds businesses. The innovation that sparks wonder.
