Natalie Hodgskin, Head of Marketing, Crimsafe
"I've had the pleasure of working with Kym across several brand projects, and her involvement with our Global brand project at Crimsafe was no different! Kym was an invaluable resource—efficient, professional, and able to expertly manage many stakeholders and moving parts, always delivering on time. Her attention to detail and proactive approach ensured the project stayed on track and achieved its goals. Kym consistently took initiative and exceeded expectations. The project’s complexity and tight timelines required not just a strategic thinker but someone who could get things done, and Kym was that person. I highly recommend her for any future work, and I look forward to partnering with her again."
Natalie Hodgskin, Group Manager Brand & Marketing, UnitingCare
"Thank you Kym! I’ve loved working with you and a HUGE thank you (and congrats!) for everything you’ve achieved during your time with us. It’s been a massive undertaking and I’m so grateful that you joined our team!"
Marg Black, EVP Lead, UnitingCare
"Kym came on board to support us with transitioning all of our recruitment advertising, copy and design, co-ordinating a photo shoot across the entire organisation and managing the updating of existing collateral and assets to incorporate our EVP language and design. Kym is an absolute dynamo; she ensured deliverables were met, she worked with multiple stakeholders across our business and was the liaison with our marketing and communications team, ensuring everyone was kept informed, consulted on key decisions and that work was appropriately prioritised. Nothing was too much trouble, Kym provided guidance and expert advice and helped us to translate ideas into reality. Her positive approach to the work and everyone she worked with along with her commitment to ensure the best possible outcome for the people and the organisation was amazing. I appreciated the opportunity to partner with and learn from Kym, and hope I get the opportunity to do so again."
Melanie Bowles, National Marketing Manager, Apollo Patios
"Working with Kym has been a game-changer for our brand. One of the reasons I accepted my current role was due to the marketing audit, strategy, and recommendations she put together for Apollo Patios. Her engaging writing style just made me want to be part of it all. Kym conducted a review of Apollo’s marketing and brand, and crafted our new vision, mission, values, messaging, tone of voice and brand story. She was subsequently engaged to work with a specialist brand designer to develop our new logo and branding guidelines – which she briefed, project managed and pitched with enthusiasm and consideration. Kym’s depth of thinking and genuine care shines through in her work and how she delivers presentations and concepts. She has a professional approach to saying what needs to be said (has the hard conversations when needed) while being completely lovable and approachable. She’s been a wonderful support to me during my time at Apollo. I thoroughly enjoy working with her and look forward to working with her again in the future when the opportunity presents itself."
Peter Murphy, Chief Talent Officer, C3 Talent
'We recently engaged Kym and the Engine team to assist us to review and refresh our brand. The thorough, structured approach Kym adopted and used to challenge us at C3Talent, to think more deeply and strategically about our brand is simply the most insightful brand exercise I have been fortunate enough to be involved in.
What was even better was that today, a week later, Kym has come back and presented to the team her thoughts. Everyone was blown away by how succinctly, yet quickly, she captured the essence of who and want we want to be, and are excited to see how the agency's team intends to bring this to life creatively.
Thank you again, we look forward to the next stage of this exciting journey."

Vincent DeAngelis, Assoc Sales Manager, Allied Brands, PepsiCo
'Kym is truly one of the best marketers around! I had the pleasure of working with Kym as we prepared to bring Bundaberg Brewed Drinks into the PepsiCo Craft Portfolio, and she was such a delight to work with. I have met many marketers in my career, but Kym is special as she truly brings her brand to life and you can feel her passion for what she is working on across the country. I would highly recommend working with Kym as she is one of the most detail oriented, passionate, and caring people that I have ever had the opportunity to work with"
Founder, idventure
"Prior to meeting Kym from quickbrownfox, we had an amazing idea but no clear direction and no idea on how to get it to where we wanted it to go. Kym not only showed us what we needed to do to make our dream become a reality, she assisted us throughout every step of the way! There’s no way that we’d be where we are without the caring, professional, brutally honest at times (we like that!) and knowledgeable approached that Kym used with us. We will always consider Kym to be a valuable part of our team (our Marketing Guru!)…and so wouldn’t want her to get too busy for us…we can’t recommend her highly enough!” "
John Purnell, Event Coordinator, Badminton Aust
"Kym from quickbrownfox carefully considered our brief, which was to provide a detailed Marketing Activation plan for the Sudirman Cup event to be held on the Gold Coast, with tight deadlines and limited budget, performing her duties admirably, personally and efficiently.
She doesn't waste time and has the ability to perform her tasks with a minimum of supervision. She applies the 'common sense’ rule to her tasks and makes appropriate decisions when I was not available.
The end result was a comprehensive plan which addressed all requirements and allowed us to proceed with the organisation of the Event having fulfilled a major requirement of a funding benchmark. This was all thanks to Kym and her diligent and disciplined work. I certainly thoroughly recommend her ability, work ethic for any future project of this nature."

"Recently, a client came to me with a problem: from a marketing perspective, 'what should we do next?' This is a common issue I come across. Clients know that they are in desperate need of a graphic designer to improve the look and feel of the external communications in general, but don't know what areas they should be investing in, in what order they should happen, or why.
This is when I decided to bring Kym into the conversation. Kym put in the hours, and asked them the tough questions. What resulted, was an informed and targeted marketing campaign with focused key messages. This not only helped the client more effectively plan and budget for their marketing plans for the year ahead, but it also provided me with the dream brief. Her clear, clever and realistic direction has helped shape our design decisions every step of the way.
I would recommend Kym and quickbrownfox to any company looking for realistic, sharp and savvy solutions"
