Vada Kelley

CEO (Owner)

Marketing Magician

Vada grew up in the Shenandoah Valley and her passion for storytelling started at a young age. When Vada was 5 years old she proclaimed that she wanted to be an artist when she grew up. By the time she was in middle school she was volunteering at a local television station as a camera operator. In High School she joined a traveling Shakespearean theater group and it came as no surprise that Vada would be a founding member, editor, videographer and co-anchor of the weekly High School news show that would run on repeat during every study hall and whose program has continued to this day. If she wasn’t in class, you could find her editing videos, performing plays or working in her father’s business –a local cabinet shop. If you need some sanding, she can help you out!

After graduating from James Madison University with a BFA in Studio Art, Vada decided to take the plunge and create something that would fulfill her career aspirations while simultaneously helping local businesses grow. Drawing on the experience she had gained in theater, graphic design and communications as part of JMU’s College of Art & Design; Estland was born.

I love telling stories that are authentic. I love learning about your brand, your capabilities and more importantly the impact you have on the world.

Each strategy she creates is catered to you with exceptional precision that’s been praised time and again. If you are ready to Make The Most Of Your Moment, she’d love to listen, to learn and to create an effective strategy to reach your marketing goals.
