Ariyana and Stephan Hernandez of Nora Agency

Brand promotion is a skill that even the best founders and talents can often miss the target on. Bringing years of varied experience to the table, partnered duo Ariyana and Stephan Hernandez know how to market.

Their boutique agency, NORA the agency, partners with high-potential startups and select talent to solidify brand identity and expand marketing reach through creative experiences, digital outreach, and industry partnerships. Much of NORA’s work revolves around fashion and lifestyle brands, but it certainly isn’t limited - a few partnership highlights include the gorgeous brand LoQ, influencer Puno Puno, specialty ice cream brand Coolhaus, and the Downtown Women’s Center which works to end women’s homelessness. It’s clear from their collaborations that Ariyana and Stephan have excellent taste, and they allow their own passions and values to shine through their work as well.

IT TAKES TWO: to get the messaging just right.
