What clients say
From people who’ve done this
“
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.
“
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 has the expertise and knowledge which could impress even the most experienced, but presents in a way that is the opposite of drinking from a fire hose.
“
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.
“
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 and fully embrace her best practice sponsorship techniques. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Kim as a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, consultant and/or coach.
“
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
“
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!
“
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!
“
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
