Behind the Name.

Alania Agency was founded in 2025 by Javen Alania, a proud graduate of Punahou School (’17) and the Shidler College of Business.

Javen’s passion for marketing began in middle school with a hand-me-down camera from his sister. What started as photography soon grew into a love for digital media, shaping his path toward a degree in business marketing and years of research into artificial intelligence and its impact on the future of advertising.

Rooted in Oʻahu, where he was born and raised, Javen built Alania Agency with the goal of helping local businesses thrive—combining creative storytelling, strategic marketing, and the power of AI to drive real growth.
