Hi, I'm Ali Velas

meet our founder & ceo

Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with entrepreneurs and building several businesses, which led me to discover my true passion: helping brands succeed and grow online. I launched Creative Ave to bring together a team of bold, creative marketing architects who are as eager to learn and innovate as I am. My journey began with a Marketing and Fashion Tech Design degree from NC State University, where hands-on creativity was key, and growing up in the digital age gave me a deep understanding of the ever-evolving social media world. As a former marketing director, I took two brands from 0 to 170K followers in just under five months, generating over $600,000 in revenue. Now, at Creative Ave, I love guiding both my team and clients through the constantly shifting social media landscape. I’m driven to help brands not only navigate but thrive, and I believe in empowering others through creative strategy, innovation, and a passion for growth.
