About Myra

I SEE YOUR BUSINESS THE WAY YOUR FUTURE CUSTOMERS MIGHT SEARCH FOR IT

I’m Myra—a marketing strategist who specializes in Pinterest and the heart behind Myra Jean Creative.

I help women business owners understand why their marketing isn’t connecting as well as it should, uncover opportunities they may not be able to see from inside their own businesses, and create clearer roads for the right customers to find them.

Sometimes that road involves Pinterest.

Sometimes we need to back up and figure out why the marketing whatchamacallit is acting up in the first place.

Either way, we begin by looking at the whole business—not simply the platform where the problem happens to be showing up.

MY MIND RARELY LOOKS AT ANYTHING FROM ONLY ONE DIRECTION

When I look at a business, I don’t see only the service or product being sold.

I see the different reasons someone might begin searching for it:

The problem she is trying to solve
The question she needs answered
The frustration she is tired of carrying
The result she wants
The possibility she hasn’t been able to put into words yet

Each one represents a different road that could lead her toward a business.

Then I look at the destination.

Does the message make sense when she arrives?

Can she recognize that she’s in the right place?

Does she understand what is being offered?

Is there a clear next step?

That is the work I naturally do.

I investigate. I ask questions. I connect seemingly unrelated pieces. I notice gaps, inconsistencies, and opportunities that are difficult to see when you’re standing too close to your own work.

Then I help turn those discoveries into a practical direction forward.

WHY PINTEREST BECAME ONE OF MY SPECIALITIES

Like many people, I originally used Pinterest personally.

Then I discovered that businesses could use it as a marketing tool—and I stopped scrolling long enough to investigate.

The more I learned, the more I realized Pinterest approached marketing differently.

It wasn’t asking businesses to perform constantly or fight for a few fleeting seconds of attention. It was helping people find ideas, answers, products, and services they were already interested in discovering.

That made sense to me.

Pinterest combines search behavior, strategy, creativity, organization, and long-term thinking. It gives businesses an opportunity to become relevant when someone starts looking—not merely visible while someone is scrolling.

That is why I specialize in Pinterest.

Not because every business needs another platform, but because the right business can use Pinterest to create intentional, searchable roads leading people toward its work.

I'VE BEEN AROUND THE BUSINESS BLOCK A FEW TIMES

Before becoming a marketing strategist, I spent decades working, teaching, coaching, creating, troubleshooting, and running businesses.

Along the way, I have:

Built and operated my own businesses
Coached or taught more than 100 people
Become a certified life coach
Published books and educational resources
Become a published author and editorial contributor for Influential Women
Worked inside both small businesses and large organizations
Adapted through the rise of personal computers, websites, cell phones, social media, and now AI
Been recognized as a 2026 Influential Women honoree

More than 30 years of business, operational, and entrepreneurial experience comes with me whenever I look at a client’s business.

I’ve seen tools, trends, and platforms come and go. I’ve also learned that the newest or loudest marketing tactic isn’t automatically the smartest one.

The strategy has to make sense for your business, your customers, your goals, and the way you actually want to work.

WHY MYRA?

Because I see your business the way your future customers might search for it.

I don’t look only at what you sell. I look at the different problems, questions, desires, and possibilities that could cause someone to start searching for what you provide.

Then I follow the route.

I look for the gaps between what your customers need, what your marketing communicates, and where you’re asking people to go next.

With more than 30 years of business, operational, and entrepreneurial experience, I know how to ask the deeper questions, recognize what may be getting overlooked, and turn those discoveries into clear, practical next steps.

Sometimes the opportunity is Pinterest. Sometimes the message needs attention first. And sometimes that marketing whatchamacallit simply isn’t operating the way it should.

My job is to help you understand why—and identify the most useful road forward.

STRATEGY WITH A BUSINESS BRAIN BEHIND IT

I don’t look at a Pinterest account—or any piece of marketing—in isolation.

I want to understand the business behind it.

What do you sell?

Who needs it?

What might cause someone to begin looking for it?

What language would she use?

What have you already created?

Where should your marketing lead her?

And what needs to happen when she arrives?

Because visibility alone isn’t the goal.

The goal is to help the right people find their way to a destination that makes sense.

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME

I’m strategic, organized, creative, curious, and occasionally incapable of resisting a good analogy.

I’ll ask questions—sometimes ones you weren’t expecting.

I’ll explain why I’m recommending something instead of handing you a list of instructions without context.

I’ll tell you when I see an opportunity. I’ll also tell you when an idea, service, or platform doesn’t make sense for your business.

You don’t need to arrive knowing the correct marketing terminology or having already diagnosed the problem.

That’s my department.

You bring the business you care about.

I’ll help you understand what may be getting in its way—and where the most useful road forward begins.

AND YES, SOMETIMES THIS IS MY OFFICE

One of the things I value most about building a business is creating work that supports the life around it—not a life that revolves entirely around work.

That philosophy shapes the way I think about marketing.

I’m far more interested in helping you build something useful and sustainable than creating another system that requires you to be constantly online.

Use the best tools for the job. Create with intention. Build for the long term.

Give the right people a clear way to find you.
