Meet Almira!

Branding & PR Expert + Business & Visibility Coach For Powerful Female Entrepreneurs Looking for Next-Level Visibility

I help passionate female entrepreneurs achieve the business and life of their dreams through powerful, effective business systems and visibility strategies.

It is my mission to keep you in the driver’s seat of your business (and life) without sacrificing quality, growth, or your mental health and happiness.

My motto is:

Easy PR and growth efforts. Big visibility. Big business. (and yes - it’s a potent combination of visibility and scaling that get you there. In case you were wondering!)

Almira’s Journey to Entrepreneurship

My entrepreneurial journey began when I launched my career at a premier national agency, working in a senior-level PR role. I spent many years living and working abroad, leading global PR efforts for Cobra Beer, one of the UK’s fastest-growing beer brands. I also drove corporate public relations and communications campaigns for top brands in Australia and South Africa.

Upon returning home to Canada, I was told that my absence left me with no longer relevant local PR experience.

While I could have let that stop me from taking my career any further…

I chose to let it become the fire beneath me that fueled me to pursue my wildest dreams.

This also became the fire that ignited my passion for helping female entrepreneurs become seen, heard, and respected in their fields as the thought leaders they are.

I began doing PR consulting and co-founded Jive PR + Digital, an award-winning, multinational public relations firm specializing in media relations and social media marketing services with offices in Vancouver, Toronto, and Los Angeles.

After exiting the business in 2018, I founded my own boutique branding, communications, and PR agency where I now have the honour of working with high-level brands, C-Suite executives, and entrepreneurs to build their businesses and personal brands, magnify their brand’s impact, and scale their businesses to new heights.

My passion for empowering female entrepreneurs (and helping them become more visible so they can be seen, heard, and respected as the go-to media expert in their field) led me to become an ICF Certified Coach.

It was also time to share my 20+ years of entrepreneurial expertise with my clients, and support them in scaling their businesses to 6 and 7 figures. When women have strong, successful and profitable businesses – they create change for themselves, their families, their communities and the world.

As an entrepreneur and advocate for women in leadership, I have been honoured with a number of prestigious awards including:

  • Inductee, Canadian Marketing, Advertising, Communication and PR Hall of Fame 2023
  • Acquisition International’s Most influential Business Coaching CEO 2023 Vancouver winner
  • PROFIT and Canadian Business W100: Canada’s Top Female
  • Entrepreneurs 2016 Enterprising Women Magazine’s 2016 Enterprising Women of the Year Award
  • Business In Vancouver Forty Under 40 2016 Winner
  • 2014 Vancouver YWCA Women of Distinction Awards finalist

Visibility Matters. Your Message Deserves to be Heard and Your Business Needs to Be Seen + Found.

As one of North America’s leading entrepreneurs and experts in brand building and communications, I have spent the last two decades creating powerful narratives for both domestic and global brands, such as Flight Centre, Nike, Best Buy, Future Shop, Molson, and TELUS.

As an entrepreneur and coach, I firmly believe in the combined power of a sound and savvy business strategy with a killer visibility strategy. They work hand in hand:

  • Grow the business
  • Get some visibility – and develop a tribe who follows you, buys from you and raves about you
  • Now you’re growing more and scaling
  • Get more visibility, because you’re shining
  • Keep scaling
  • Become a boss in your business, build an incredible team and business, make more money, get financial and time freedom.
Say goodbye to stress, overwhelm, frustration and being stuck to the business. Hell, work a 3-4 day week if you choose to!

I am driven by a passionate desire to see women rise up, both personally and professionally, and to eradicate inequality at all levels.

I help women skyrocket their visibility, get powerful, life-changing media coverage, and scale their businesses, all while remaining true to who they are and stepping into their powerful CEO expansion energy.

Too many female-founded businesses remain unseen, unheard, and unknown. 

It’s my mission to change that through big visibility & PR efforts and powerful, effective business strategies!
