Hi there— I’m Lilly Stence, a strategic storyteller with a deep passion for crafting visually and emotionally captivating work. With a formal education in journalism and mass communication coupled with sustainability, my approach seamlessly merges creativity with strategy to deliver impactful deliverables that resonate with diverse audiences.

My experience lies mainly in the realm of client work. At the University of Iowa, I co-founded the school’s first student-run content marketing agency, the Adler Agency, where I served as the founding Executive Director. In this role, I guided a team of talented undergraduates as we partnered with clients across Iowa City—from YouTube franchises to local nonprofits. Every project was built on collaboration, immersion, and a commitment to advancing our clients’ missions.

Outside of my passion for agency work, I have completed internships where I’ve been tasked with spearheading marketing campaigns, content calendars, curating brand materials, paid social media budgets and much more.

Because of my scope, I am open to many different roles in strategic communication. Reach out to me with inquiries, I’d love to connect!
