Hello 🙋♀️
I'm Kylie and I build brands!
As a business coach specialising in digital marketing, I bring a lifetime of experience in the media, advertising, marketing, ecommerce and branding space, and I love to GIVE, GUIDE & SHARE so others can GROW.
I live in the beautiful village of Bangalow, in the Byron Bay hinterland, Northern NSW with my husband Richard, our daughter Clover, and our two dogs, Lulu and Toblerone.
I am also the founder of Positive, Passionate Business Women, an online networking group and website business directory with three levels of membership, offering connection, collaboration, and business growth! If you're a woman in business, we welcome you to join us!
Hello Media & beyond 💫
Hello Media became its own entity in 2016, and I've run it full-time since Feb 2018, following the successful sale of my eCommerce business Rainbows and Clover, a kids eco-toys and decor Fair-Trade brand.
Having worked in all areas of the media and marketing industry my entire adult life, I can honestly say, I love it! I'm lucky to work with a great team, but also to have the privilege to work with amazing clients who inspire me daily.
I'm also passionate about volunteering my time with not-for-profits and charities, and you can read more about that here.
On a personal note, my husband (a very talented and creative Landscaper and Horticulturalist) broke his neck playing rugby in 2007, resulting in him being paralysed ( C4/5 quadriplegic) for the past 15 years. We work on voluntary projects together and are passionate about paying it forward and helping the lives of those who find themselves in tough times. I was nominated for and awarded 2021 LG Local Legend, which was a beautiful surprise, and very humbling.
We have an incredibly awesome daughter, she's fun and smart and gentle, with a generous, giving nature and virtually no interest in social media. Go figure!
Part of my daily practise is taking a moment to reflect on what I'm grateful for. I also like picnics, a glass of wine 🍾 and a laugh with friends 😆. And I really, really love emoji's! (and bitmoji's and memoji's!)
Get in touch, make that discovery zoom & see if we're a good fit, connect with me on Social Media, (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest, Youtube) and join the Hello Media FB group and say hi! 🙋🏼
I'm all about the journey, the environment, equality and accessibility, community, people, fairness, adventure, stories, the world out there and the world in which I live.
Thanks for being part of our adventure …
Founder and Creative Agitator,
Kylie Mowbray-Allen
A bit about my background in the industry ...
I trained in print journalism (in Auckland, New Zealand) and then studied for a degree in Communications, majoring in radio and TV.
I have over 25 years experience as a writer, marketer, communicator and small business owner.
Coming from a creative family - with a film producer dad and dance teacher mum, owning my own business was always a given. I love knowing that the effort and energy that I put in, will directly effect how my business can grow, and how many people I can help.
My first full time job was for a film company based in London, where we travelled the world producing a weekly TV show, Powerboat World. I was fortunate to also at the same time be writing for a number of publications, so combined my loves of working in many facets of the media industry.
I left the northern hemisphere and moved to Sydney (closer to home and my family in NZ) in my mid 20s and worked for various TV companies and networks, and then moved into print magazines and advertising. After starting my own film company I then moved to the NSW far north coast, and expanded into an agency offering graphic and website design, as well as creating advertising and marketing campaigns for small to medium businesses to help them share their messages.
With the arrival of social media platforms I realised the opportunity for getting visible to a whole new audience and communicating in a whole new way, resonated with me as the ability grow a community and share your story was amazing.
I'm a speaker, coach, mentor, writer, designer, educator, presenter, content creator, and branding specialist - which ensures that my offerings in a coaching capacity are wide, extensive and varied.
I'm constantly growing and investing in myself and my business so I can help you and your business grow! I believe that every coach, needs a coach! In fact, every business owner needs a coach ... someone who's been there, and can guide you to get there!
Teaching social media, branding, email marketing, SEO and so much more to entrepreneurs, brands, ecommerce stores, business owners and marketers fills me up, and watching those light-bulb moments and joy when I can uncomplify digital marketing for them is massively satisfying.
I love telling stories and believe passionately in the power of content marketing to connect makers, creators and doers in a positive way with networks that will deliver both social and business support. I also love to inspire people to come together and find joy in the process and an understanding of collaborating and building relationships which is why I started a Positive, Passionate Business Women, an online directory of women-owned businesses to help your business get found, and an online networking group to help you collaborate, connect and grow!
