About The Agency
'The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller.'
— Steve Jobs
The Blackline Agency is helmed by DeLana Orr, a Los Angeles-based writer and narrative strategist known for her ability to shape silence into strategy. With a refined presence behind some of today’s most compelling voices, she works discreetly at the intersection of language, leadership, and legacy.
Her approach blends literary precision with intuitive intelligence, translating complex ideas into powerful, human-centered messaging. Whether building a personal brand, sculpting thought leadership, or rearticulating influence for public or private arenas, DeLana offers more than words—she delivers resonance.
Selected as one of only 15 writers nationwide for PEN America’s 2025 Emerging Voices Workshop, DeLana also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Written Communications and Journalism from Eastern Michigan University. She brings decades of lived strategy and unshakable clarity to every engagement.
At The Blackline Agency, clients do not hire a team—they are met by one mind, fully present. Confidential, bespoke, and sharply attuned to nuance, DeLana’s work speaks when others cannot. Her role is not to amplify noise—but to articulate power.
