#thesavageway is a company built around creative solutions, thinking outside the box and overall positive thinking. We strive to work with clients, partners and interns who align with our vision in life. Recently, the opportunity presented itself for us to bring on a contract worker and add some additional woman-power around the office. We wanted you to meet her!
Everyone say HEY to Alana Allen!
Alana Allen joins #thesavageway!
Alana is creative, funny, kind and excited about all things Charlotte. If you haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her yet, you need to! And when you DO meet her IRL (in real life), you’re sure to hear an amazingly “punny” joke or two.
We asked her a few questions.
Why did you want to join #thesavageway?
I absolutely love the brand, the concept and what you ladies are doing in marketing. More importantly, I love HOW you’re doing things. As a creative person, it is beyond refreshing to watch how you both approach a project and then put your own spin on it. #thesavageway does a great job of localizing creative efforts and expanding on a grass roots level.

As “creative queens,” #thesavageway is always coming up with different ideas. What creative energy do you bring to the table?
I thrive in creative environments. When there is opportunity to build on ideas, my mind will just race with creative content. Anyone that knows me knows that I love a good pun, play on words or a silly joke. But when it comes to branding and clients, I love coming up with new ways to do old things.
What is your role going to be at #thesavageway?
I will be an Account Executive working on a contract basis. However, I definitely see myself wearing many hats in the future. Being able to learn all aspects of the business and helping the team develop these creative solutions is so exciting to me!

Tell us about “The Ldy.”
Ha! My nickname is The Lady. It started years ago while in conversations with friends. I’m pretty awesome at a British accent and it just stuck.
Current obsession?
Viva Chicken. Seriously, I cannot get enough of those quinoa stuffed chicken avocados.
Where do you hang out?
You can always find me at a local, live concert, hanging around NoDa or hitting the pavement on the Greenway (I love to run).
Favorite Songs (that will need to be added to #thesavageway playlist)?
- Lissie – ‘Pursuit of Happiness’
- Allen Stone – ‘’Celebrate Tonight’
- St. Paul & the Broken Bones – ‘Call Me’
- The Wild Feathers – ‘The Ceiling’ (became obsessed with this band while living in Nashville)
