Who is Meleana Marketing?
Digital marketing isn't just my job, it's what I've always done.
Fast forward to 2020
After graduating from college in 2019 with a degree in communications and marketing, I thought I would make it big in Boston. Turns out I was wrong. And to top off not finding any luck with work, a global pandemic happened. However, that's when the idea of Meleana Marketing L.L.C. came to light. I wanted to help our native and local island communities in Hawaiʻi thrive by utilizing digital marketing.
Why did I decide to name it Meleana Marketing?
Meleana is my Hawaiian name, and as a proud kanaka maoli, I wanted to ensure my brand and values connected with my Hawaiian culture that has shaped me into the person I am today.
It all started in 2013
From growing up in the generation of social media where MySpace, Tumblr and Facebook were king, I knew I had a gift in marketing when I helped my high school reggae band win a statewide music competition by starting a Facebook campaign.
