Why so many repeats

Most of my clients are repeats — extending previous work, refreshing a team, or bringing best practice thinking to their new workplace. Most of the rest are referrals from other clients.

Kim introduced us to the Win-Win-Win principle that I believe is a true game changer in how to approach sponsorship in any company, within any sector. Since working with Kim we have seen a significant decrease in verbal/brand slap deals of old and an increase in next level best practice sponsorship.

Heather WallaceBendigo Bank

She ran workshops for our sponsors to maximise the value they received from their association with the Games. These were extremely well received by our corporate partners and also led to some extraordinary commercial outcomes for our sponsors.

Peter StewartCEO, 2023 Pacific Games, Solomon Islands

Kim has not only reshaped our sponsorship offering, but helped educate our sponsors on best practice sponsorship, so we can form long and rewarding partnerships. Working with Kim is a pleasure and adds real value to the organisation.
