Tell me a bit about your organisation and what’s going wrong. No pitch deck, no brief, no procurement process required — a couple of paragraphs is genuinely enough to get a useful answer.

The more context you give me, the more useful my first reply will be.

I read every one of these personally. You’ll normally hear back within a couple of working days.

Based in Sydney, Australia. If you’re in another time zone, say so and I’ll work around it.

One thing I don’t do: sponsorship brokering. I don’t sell sponsorship on another organisation’s behalf. If that’s what you need, the broker registry is a better starting point.

Her methodology is thoughtful, relevant yet straightforward, successfully aligning the interests of sponsors and rights holders. She also helped us articulate a shared vision for what our sponsorship could achieve, which was both inspiring and practical.

Kim provides a clear and common sense approach to sponsorship and with so much experience and examples to draw on she quickly had the ideas flowing.

Kim’s energy, passion and enthusiasm in the sponsorship sector is unrivalled. After spending half a day with Kim, our local event organisers were inspired to look at the world of sponsorship in a new light.

Our company contracted with Kim to lead an advanced sponsorship workshop for our customers. The convention industry is highly reliant on exhibit booth revenue. Kim helped our customers think beyond the four walls of their convention and consider more sophisticated sponsor opportunities that not only provided a win for the in person participants, but also the remote fans.

Adelaide Festival worked with Kim to review and refresh our approach to sponsorship. Having worked with both rightsholders and sponsors, Kim offered valuable perspectives on proposals and generating compelling leveraging ideas. We particularly enjoyed Kim’s enthusiasm, sense of humour, and practical advice, alongside her extensive expertise.

We engaged Kim’s services to come over to Auckland and run a one-day course with our newly appointed sponsors of the Manu World Champs. I myself had been educated on best practise sponsorship by Kim over the year so wanted our sponsors to learn from the very best. Kim helped our sponsors understand the true power of sponsorship and then assisted them in the development of their own leverage plans. We were pleased to receive very positive feedback from everyone involved.

The Australian Institute of Architects have utilised Kim’s services over a number of years now. 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. The ongoing training provided to staff has enabled us to creatively leverage our partnerships and provide real results for their sponsorship. Working with Kim is a pleasure and adds real value to the organisation.

We were so fortunate to have Kim speak to our Principles of Sports Management class at Pfeiffer. As you might imagine, college students are often a ‘tough sell’. Kim was fabulous. From the moment she walked in the room everyone was spellbound. Her knowledge of the subject matter was extraordinary and her delivery was the best I’ve witnessed. Kim Skildum-Reid was A+.

Kim’s keynote presentation at One-Zero 2019 was a superb conference highlight. Her straight-talking take on the ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts’ of best practice sponsorship captivated and entertained our audience. Book Kim – she’s great to work with and will commit wholeheartedly to the success of your event

Patrick HaslettOne-Zero (Dublin)

Kim is one of the top speakers in the sponsorship industry. We recently invited her back to Sweden and once again she made a huge success with her enthusiasm on stage and great expertise regarding sponsorship issues. Kim brings ideas and practical tools needed when working with sponsorship, which can be applied locally here in Sweden and globally. We look forward to welcoming her back to Sweden soon!

Niklas BirgetzSwedish Sponsorship Association (2012)

Kim is one of the top keynoters in the sponsorship industry and a real powerhouse on stage. Her content is global without being vague; even though Sweden is quite a ways from Australia geographically, Kim left the audience at our national sponsorship industry forum with plenty of ideas and insights that could instantly be applied in both a Swedish and an international context. We look forward to welcoming her back to Stockholm soon!

Josefine HådellSwedish Sponsorship Association (2010)

Kim was an overwhelming success at our sponsorship event back. Her presentation style was engaging and entertaining but most importantly she was very informative and effective. On top of that Kim couldn’t have been nicer to deal with or more accommodating with her time. I would definitely recommend Kim for any sponsorship event

Olivia CommuneInfopresse (Montreal)

Kim spoke at Exp’s African Experiential Marketing Summit, presenting a paper on ‘Last Generation Sponsorship’. Her content was completely relevant, giving examples, case studies and a clear direction of how to overcome challengers and maximise leveraging of your brand in your sponsorship properties.

Dave BoonExp Agency (South Africa)

The course was absolutely perfect! Kim did an excellent job in how the course was designed and taught. If you are in this space (sponsorships), this course is a must. She kept it engaging. And, the materials alone are worth the investment. Kim thank you for sharing your knowledge, resources and experience with the world.
