Meet Lavel.

Lavel is a marketing and business management company built around close working relationships. We help independent businesses get noticed, bring in customers, and make the day-to-day work better.

Marketing is at the heart of what we do. We plan and create content, manage campaigns, build websites, and keep the details moving. When a client needs more support, we also help with operations, staffing, systems, and new business launches.

Founded by Evan Hrivnak, Lavel works with businesses across Southern Delaware, Washington, DC, and Baltimore. Evan is a University of Toronto graduate who began working with organizations through university consulting programs. That early experience shaped the approach we still take: understand the business, build trust, and stay involved in the work.

Why I started Lavel.

I’ve always wanted to build a business. While working with clients at university, I found that the part I enjoyed most was getting to know the people behind a business, understanding what they were trying to achieve, and helping them make it happen.

I began building Lavel in 2021 and started taking clients in the summer of 2022. Since then, the work has grown from individual projects into ongoing relationships with business owners and their teams.

That is what I want Lavel to feel like: someone in your corner who understands your business, takes responsibility, and helps carry the work forward.
