Meet Mirna Bard
WE-OC Founder
Many companies globally look to Mirna Bard to educate them on the ever-changing world of digital media. Through her consulting and training, she inspires organizations and entrepreneurs around the globe to leverage digital, so they can attract more powerful opportunities to their business.
Since 2007, she’s consulted hundreds of businesses to create a sustainable digital strategy so they can consistently boost online visibility, heighten targeted website visitors, draw new qualified prospects, enhance customer relationships, magnetize the media and strategic partners, increase leads and sales as well as streamline internal company communication and empower employees.
In all consulting or training work she takes on, Mirna is results-oriented and is extremely talented in incorporating digital strategies into entire business operations because she believes digital is not only a marketing task. It is her philosophy that all traditional and digital efforts should complement one another and without clearly set objectives and a strong fine-tuned strategy, she believes that no business tactic will be hugely successful.
With her bachelor’s degree in advertising, a master’s in business management, and 20 years of experience in advertising, corporate communications, and strategic planning, she draws on a combination of in-depth scholastic knowledge and real-world Internet experience in every client project she engages in. Being a tenacious learner and a student of her work, Mirna continues to study the digital industry and evolve as a thought leader in an industry she has genuine passion for.
Since 2010, Mirna has been an instructor of digital media at University of California, Irvine as well as Oregon State University. She also currently sits on the Digital Marketing Board at UC Irvine Continuing Education.
Southern California is home to Mirna, and there is nothing she enjoys more than a long walk on the beach (emphasis on the word long). Most of her free time is spent on learning real estate investing, outdoor activities, cooking, reading books that cover topics like digital, business strategies, nutrition, personal development, and spirituality. Most recently, she has gone back to her favorite hobby as a child – coloring, which she uses to unwind and unplug from technology most evenings. Mirna is also an avid traveler, which suits her well since her consulting and keynote speaking requires her to spend time away from home.
