Sharifa Khan
Sharifa Khan has dedicated her life to “building bridges of understanding” between businesses, governments, media, and Canada’s thriving immigrant communities. In fact, she is credited as the visionary founder of Canada’s multicultural marketing discipline.
For 35 years, Sharifa has served as founder and CEO of Balmoral Multicultural Marketing, the country’s largest, multi-award-winning agency that connects brands with influential ethnic populations.
Sharifa’s journey first began when she noticed how new immigrants were richly contributing to the economic and cultural fabric of Canada. Yet brands were essentially ignoring them. Changing this narrative soon became Sharifa’s life mission.
Today, Sharifa is a rare three-time Jubilee award recipient from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and a laureate of the prestigious Canadian Marketing Hall of Legends.
