MEET DANIELLE PEREA
I left corporate to build an agency that moves faster, thinks sharper, and delivers marketing built for real-world results.
founder & ceo /
traveler / dog mom /
foodie / SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR
I’m Danielle Perea, Founder and CEO of Golden Hour Co., an award-winning integrated marketing agency based in Las Vegas and working with ambitious brands coast to coast. I’m a big-picture strategist with an operator’s brain, a creative streak, and very little patience for marketing that looks good but goes nowhere.
I built my career leading marketing inside hospitality and gaming, where the pace was fast, the expectations were high, and there was no room for strategy disconnected from execution. That experience still shapes how I think and lead today: stay sharp, move with intention, and never lose sight of the business behind the brand.
I started GHC to build the kind of agency I would have wanted in my corner: smart, agile, genuinely invested, and capable of seeing the full picture. Today, I lead the vision and strategy alongside a team of specialists who know how to turn ambitious ideas into meaningful momentum.
I care deeply about doing excellent work, working with good people, and building something we’re proud to put our name on. Outside the agency, you’ll usually find me planning my next trip, cooking, trying a new restaurant, spoiling my dog, or talking myself into another business idea.

THE MINDS BEHIND THE MOMENTUm
VP OF BRAND MARKETING
STRATEGIC PARTNERIN HER LANE
I bring 25+ years of marketing, creative and digital experience, but mostly, I’m the person who looks at the big picture, finds what’s missing and figures out what actually makes sense. At GHC, I’m a strategic sounding board, problem solver and the occasional voice of, “We probably don’t need to do that” or, “Let’s try this.”
THE BIG THREE
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
• Spontaneous travel
• Laughter, the best medicine
HARD NO
Clicking pens and repetitive noises.
PLOT TWIST
“My husband is a flight attendant, so spontaneous travel has basically become a family sport.”
Beyond GHC
Kim is also the founder of Kreative Insight Marketing, where she brings senior-level strategy, structure and hands-on support to businesses ready to scale.
KIM AST
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
PROJECT MANAGERIn her lane
I’m an Executive Assistant and Project Manager who loves turning chaos into organized action. At GHC, I keep projects, clients, communication and all the little moving pieces on track, while making sure nothing quietly falls through the cracks.
The big three
• A good Coach bag
• Croissants, borderline obsessed
• Traveling and discovering new places
Hard no
People who chew with their mouths open. I genuinely cannot do it.
Plot twist
I have a very dry sense of humor. Half the time, people aren’t entirely sure whether I’m joking.
beverly killian
LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER
COMMUNITY MANAGERIn her lane
I’ve been behind the camera since 2019, exploring food, brand and content photography through Golden Hour Co. I love bringing a brand’s vision to life and creating images that do more than look beautiful, they help move the business forward. I approach every shoot with excellence, care and a sharp creative eye.
The big three
• Watching sports while eating chicken wings, ideally with both hands occupied
• Buying things on Amazon I absolutely did not need because life is short
• Going on 6 a.m. walks when the Vegas weather is actually tolerable
Hard no
Las Vegas drivers. Specifically, anyone who turns directly in front of me at the last possible second and then immediately drives 15 miles under the speed limit. Please, I am begging you: get it together.
Plot twist
I once ran a relay race covering more than 17 miles across the Big Island of Hawaii. Would I do it again? Absolutely not. Was it an incredible experience? Absolutely.
Currently
I’m on maternity leave getting ready to welcome my baby boy. I’ll be soaking up all the newborn snuggles for a little while before returning behind the camera.

Outside of GHC, she’s the founder and photographer behind Ophira Photo, creating confidence-building sessions that feel natural, personal and entirely like you.
CALLIE MORGAN
PHOTOGRAPHER
VIDEOGRAPHERIn hIS lane
I bring strategy, adaptability and speed to the GHC team, turning big ideas into clear plans and high-impact results. From content and event planning to the details that keep a project moving, I make the process feel effortless. My goal is simple: save the team time, strengthen the creative and make every client experience feel seamless and engaging.
the big three
• Final Fantasy
• Basketball
• Mangoes
hard no
A lack of situational awareness. Please read the room and maybe the sidewalk, too.
plot twist
I have a near-photographic memory when it comes to navigation. Show me a route once and I can usually find my way back without a map. I’m basically a human GPS, minus the recalculating.
beyond GHC
Kawaan is also the filmmaker and creative force behind Yesteryear Entertainment, where he brings stories to life through thoughtful cinematography, photography and production.
KAWAAN VARRIE
PAID MEDIA SPECIALIST
SEO STRATEGISTIn his lane
I’m the paid media specialist who genuinely geeks out over a strong ROAS. At GHC, I manage Google Ads and Meta Ads from targeting, bidding and tracking, to ongoing optimization. I also help our clients strengthen their visibility across traditional search engines and AI-powered discovery platforms. I love finding out why a campaign or brand isn’t being discovered, fixing what’s getting in the way, and moving the numbers in the right direction.
The big three
• Perfectly organized everything
• Chai breaks between campaign audits
• Traveling and discovering new places
Hard no
Someone spoiling a movie or show before I’ve had the chance to watch it.
Plot twist
I can fall asleep almost anywhere, at any time, in under five minutes.
ANKIT SHAH
SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGERIn his lane
I’m Jun, a Social Media Manager and digital marketer who loves turning ideas into content people actually want to stop and look at. I bring a mix of strategy, creativity and a little bit of chaos to help GHC and our clients build stronger online presences. Around here, “pics or it didn’t happen” is less of a saying and more of a policy. The shot list is my love language, so I’m usually reminding the team to grab one more angle, one more detail and one more vertical clip before anyone packs up. Good content doesn’t happen by accident, and neither does the perfect shot.
The big three
• Coffee
• Planes
• Pokemon
Hard no
No sense of urgency and messy spaces.
Plot twist
I have a pet gecko.
ROLANDO DOMINGO
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
REPRESENTATIVEIn his lane
At GHC, I turn cold leads into warm conversations and make sure promising opportunities don’t disappear into the inbox abyss. I love finding the right people, building genuine relationships and keeping the momentum going from the first hello to the next step. I’m equal parts organized, adaptable and persistent, in the nicest possible way. My job is to keep doors opening, conversations moving and new opportunities within reach.
The big three
• Driving
• Playing video games
• Spending time with family & friends
Hard no
Bad communication, especially when the entire issue could be solved with one simple conversation.
Plot twist
I’m much funnier than this professional bio would lead you to believe.
CHIEMERIE EXCEL
GRAPHIC DESIGNERIn her lane
I’m a digital wizard—or, more officially, a Graphic Designer. At GHC, I take random ideas, half-baked sketches and client dreams and turn them into polished visuals that feel intentional, on-brand and built to convert. I love figuring out how to make a concept both beautiful and useful, whether that means bringing clarity to a messy idea, creating scroll-stopping content or ensuring every design supports the larger strategy. My role is to give each idea a visual identity people can recognize, remember and respond to.
The big three
• Nature walks
• A good documentary
• When an online package arrives early
Hard no
A messy room or environment.
Plot twist
I can sleep for a truly ridiculous amount of time.
JEZIRAH EBRAHIM
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE
CONTENT CREATORIn her lane
I keep one eye on the details and the other on whatever digital trend is about to take off. At GHC, I turn brand stories into scroll-stopping social content and help bring communities together, from creators to businesses and everyone in between. I love finding the moment, angle or idea that makes a brand feel more human, relevant and easy to connect with. If something looks effortless on the feed, there was probably a lot of intention behind it.
The big three
• Foodie adventures and hunting down the best local eats wherever I go
• Creating dynamic, aesthetic UGC that helps brands shine
• Cooking and sharing meals with family and friends
Hard no
Negativity, with dishonesty coming in at a very close second.
Plot twist
I used to work as an optician for the optometrist to the stars. I’ve styled and made glasses for some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
beyond ghc
Shae is the creator behind StudioSEA Las Vegas, sharing the Vegas eats, hidden gems, and local experiences worth knowing.
SHAE LIBBY
PHOTOGRAPHERIn her lane
I’m a photographer with documentary instincts and a love for brand storytelling. My background in photojournalism taught me to notice the moments that can’t be staged: the movement in a kitchen, the personality behind a business and the way light can completely transform a space. Growing up on Guam shaped how I see place and human connection, and that perspective follows me into every frame I create for GHC and our clients.
The big three
• Road trips to the beach
• Earl Grey ice cream
• Live music
Hard no
Coffee that was hot an hour ago.
Plot twist
I once went skydiving without telling my mom. The jump was the easy part.
beyond ghc
Bingle is also the photographer behind Muse in Motion Media, capturing personal brands and life’s biggest moments with comfort, direction and confidence.
