Eliot Lane Communications Studio is a women-owned marketing communications firm with offices in Long Beach and Orange County, California.  Our approach is bit different than the traditional agency setup.

A la Carte Services

We let clients pick the services they need.  Some use us for full marketing communications projects; others need only design help; while others, still, use us solely for writing assignments.

All Senior-Level Team

Clients always want to know who is on their team.  With Eliot Lane, you get us, Fran and Donnelle, the two principals.  We do the research, set the strategy, execute the tactics, communicate with the clients and all the rest.  After 20+ years in the business, there are few communications challenges we haven’t faced.  We draw on that experience to develop sound, executable plans that deliver results.

Affordable Rates

By eschewing the traditional agency organization, we significantly reduce our overhead costs and pass those savings on to you.  Our clients receive senior-level expertise at the same price traditional agencies charge for staff with minimal experience.

We offer hourly, per project, and monthly retainer options.

The cost of doing business is ours, not yours.  That’s why we never bill clients for routine expenses such as telephone, fax, postage or mileage.  For costs incurred on your behalf — purchasing photos, mass mailings, overnight shipping and the like — we secure your approval prior to authorizing the expenditure.

We believe in working efficiently and effectively

We believe great results and on-target budgets are not mutually exclusive

We believe the best projects are intellectually stimulating

We believe in sharing a laugh every day
