Food, Travel, and Lifestyle Partnerships Rooted in Storytelling

Anela Malik partners with food, beverage, travel, and lifestyle brands, destinations, and institutions that want depth over noise. A former U.S. diplomat turned founder, she builds campaigns that resonate culturally, convert, and outlast a single post.

Who You’re Reaching

Anela's audience is mostly women in their 30s and 40s based in major cities who act on what she recommends. They buy straight from her newsletter, book international trips nearly a year out, and plan their vacations, date nights, and dinner reservations around where she's eating and where she's going. Then they come back for the next one.

The Receipts

  • $300K+ in sales from a single email launch

  • $800K+ in group travel sales since 2025

  • $65K+ crowdfunded for Our Block, the independent food and travel series she hosts

  • Sold out every stop of her national book tour for American Soul (National Geographic); two-time NAACP Image Award nominee

  • 500K+ total audience across platforms

  • "Your collab post stood out across the board in terms of engagement rate, sends, saves, and overall performance. The client was so happy."

  • "What stood out most was how easy and collaborative she was without ever being passive. She was flexible, generous with her time, and deeply engaged throughout."

  • "Every detail was thoughtfully executed. We're thrilled with the outcome."

Let’s Work Together

  • Social and newsletter content that introduces your brand the way Anela introduces anything she loves: through a story her audience trusts. Built across Instagram, TikTok, and Unfiltered & Fed to drive clicks and sales, not just impressions. Think a cookware brand in the kitchen where she films, or a travel essential packed for Patagonia.

  • One story told across every channel she owns: social content, a newsletter feature, and a live moment at a supper club or event. Designed so her audience sees your brand, understands it, and then buys. For example, a destination campaign that moves from Instagram Reels to a newsletter itinerary to a hosted dinner.

  • A standing relationship, not a one-off post. Anela brings your product into her real life over months, so her audience sees it again and again in context. The best fit for food, beverage, travel, fashion, and home brands that want to become part of how her audience lives.

  • Host, commercial talent, and interviewer with experience across national media, a sold-out book tour, live events, and her own series, Our Block. She leads conversations with ease and makes complex ideas feel simple on camera, for branded video, launches, panels, and events.

  • Put your brand inside the experience itself. Luxury group trips from Egypt to Patagonia and sold-out supper clubs across the U.S. create real-world moments: luggage outfitting a departure, a wine pairing at a dinner, a destination hosting a custom itinerary. Travelers book nearly a year out, which gives partners months of content before anyone boards a plane.
