Neely Khan
Founder, kahani / Head of AWC.
Originally a copywriter, Neely Khan went on to acquire a Midlands-based creative agency, “AWC” after eight years of working closely with hospitality companies on brand positioning, content strategy, and storytelling. Her agency has partnered with brands including Smiling House Luxury, Abode Luxury Rentals, The Great Malvern Hotel, and Cheval Collection, helping drive brand loyalty, increased spend, and long-term trust through story-led communication. Neely’s agency has now founded “kahani”, the “UK’s first-and-only framework” that ensures hospitality brands get found by AI search tools and chosen by humans – blending high-impact storytelling with Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO).
