The drive behind the Creative Collective

Elle Iannaccone I Founder & CEO

Raised with strong family values, the belief that collaboration leads to greater success has always been a guiding principle. At The Creative Collective, this philosophy is brought to life by a team of exceptionally talented and passionate professionals, delivering high-end, bespoke design and media services. With a commitment to excellence, the collective not only helps businesses thrive but also supports each other in growing their careers.

Elle’s passion for empowering others to balance their personal commitments with fulfilling creative work led her to build The Creative Collective. She wanted to create a space where people could have the flexibility to grow both professionally and personally, while still benefiting from the collaborative energy of a team.

Elle’s career began in the late ‘90s after studying at the State University of New York, where her passion for typography and photography ignited her love for graphic design and its emotional impact. She then moved into the UK’s glossy magazine industry, working in print and creative direction. Elle’s early career included roles as Art Director at Cosmopolitan UK, and she also worked across prestigious titles such as Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, and Elle Decoration.

In 2011, Elle launched her own design business, which quickly expanded into television, branding, marketing, fashion, and digital media. Her diverse client portfolio includes well-known names like Discovery Channel, the BBC, Channel 4, Formula E, and Hearst UK.

Elle truly believes that the purpose of life is to find your gift, develop it, and then share it with others—while building meaningful relationships and lifting those around you. This philosophy also transfers into how she and her team work with their clients—treating people with kindness, compassion, and collaboration, always putting their clients’ best interests at heart.
