Intro

Hi, I’m Elan.

I build brands for teams who aren’t afraid to go off-menu. You know, the real ones who want to re-imagine stale categories. The kinds who have no interest in building copycat blands.

 
 

Experience

Over the years, I’ve done a few things. Founded a venture-backed company. Led product at some others. Most recently worked at Twitter, advising product & design leads on initiatives like Misinformation, DMs, & Communities.

This one year, I made Forbes 30 under 30 in consumer technology. Mom was proud.

 

What I do

Whether you are a startup going from 0 to 1 or a more established company looking to find your mojo again, I can help.

Clients hire me as an extended member of their team — to guide them towards product-market fit, faster. 

 
 

Approach

While what I do isn’t especially unique, how I do it might surprise you. 

My approach is narrative-driven, designed to give your team a differentiated brand story that sits at the heart of everything you do.

 

Philosophy

Insights fuel differentiation

They make people feel things; and when things are felt, people remember them. 

I specialize in surfacing these insights.

And use them to reframe the opportunity in an entirely new way.

Culminating in a clear path forward that energizes the team.

Then the fun begins — partnering with the best creatives in the game to bring your story to life.

 
 

Getting started

Sound appetizing? Shoot me a note at hello@elanmiller.com with a few sentences around what you’re building & how I might be able to help.

“You can trust Elan to have the craft and creativity to get to the heart of a compelling POV to rally around. His work inspires; his style creates camaraderie; his efficiency is absolutely ace. He brings smiles and chill vibes to every team & conversation.”

— Carrie Ko, Director of Design Strategy at Twitter
