AVI Media just picked up two new accolades—Gold for Most Resilient Woman-Run Business and Silver for Best Woman-Run Business Under 10 People—but the agency isn’t slowing down long enough to polish the trophies. What started as a lean, creative-first team has grown into a 13-person outfit with more than 150 active client accounts and a rapidly expanding footprint in programmatic advertising.
And if there’s a theme behind AVI’s momentum, it’s in the word their CEO keeps coming back to: resilience.
From Boutique Player to Premier Indeed Agency Partner
AVI Media has carved out a reputation in recruitment marketing, but its evolution into a Premier Indeed Agency Partner has placed it firmly on the national stage. Rather than stay comfortably in the “talent marketing” lane, the agency is broadening its reach into Programmatic Advertising—a move that positions it alongside larger digital players while retaining its boutique agility.
Today, AVI works across healthcare, technology, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and several fast-scaling sectors. The agency’s value proposition hinges on something more meaningful than impressions and clicks: intelligent campaigns that merge creativity with measurable performance.
“Resilience isn’t a buzzword — it’s our DNA,” said Founder & CEO Louisa Chiaramonte. “These awards validate our lean, high-impact model and fuel our mission to amplify purpose-driven brands through bold storytelling and strategic design.”
It’s a classic AVI formula: stay small enough to move fast, but specialized enough to punch above your weight.
Beyond Media Buying: Building Brands From the Inside Out
While AVI made its name with employer branding and recruitment-focused media, the agency’s offerings now read more like a full-scale creative consultancy. Its capabilities include:
- Employer Branding & EVP Development
- Design & Creative Direction
- Integrated Media Planning
- Programmatic Advertising
- Strategic Communications
The common thread through all of it is brand clarity. AVI’s work isn’t just about filling positions—it’s about shaping the identity that attracts talent, energizes employees, and fuels long-term business growth.
Influence in PR: Mission-Driven, High-Impact, and Unafraid of Tough Stories
One of the more interesting elements of AVI’s expansion sits outside the paid media universe: public relations. The agency is pairing with organizations and individuals working on real-world issues—often under intense public scrutiny.
Its PR roster includes crisis communication for Jasmine Hartin, whose story has appeared across outlets like Piers Morgan, The Behavior Panel, The Times, Daily Mail, Toronto Sun, and Discovery. On the nonprofit side, AVI supports purpose-led groups such as The Table Soup Kitchen Foundation and Feed It Forward with Chef Jagger Gordon.
The range is unusual but intentional. AVI’s PR philosophy is as mission-driven as its media work: elevate stories that carry weight.
“Our goal is to turn recognition into real-world impact,” Chiaramonte said. “Whether navigating sensitive media situations or amplifying mission-driven organizations, we ensure every story we tell strengthens purpose and drives action.”
A Woman-Led Agency Built for Impact
In an industry often dominated by large networks and legacy agencies, AVI Media stands out as a woman-led, impact-first operation that has scaled without diluting its personality or speed. The recent awards only reinforce what the company’s growth already suggests: AVI isn’t built to play small.
It’s built to outthink, outcreate, and outperform.
And as it pushes further into programmatic, employer branding, and purpose-focused PR, expect the agency’s influence to grow well beyond its headcount.
