Kim Barnard
Marketing Manager
Kim discovered her passion for marketing when she was in secondary school – and she hasn’t looked back since. Starting at Cognique in 2021, Kim has turned her marketing talents agency-side. As Marketing Manager, she supports every client to achieve their business goals through people-led, engaging marketing.
Working across various sectors, Kim gets to know every client’s business inside and out. She is a pro at getting to the heart of what a business is really about and coming up with insightful ways to drive engagement through marketing.
One of Kim’s greatest assets is her love for people and authentic storytelling – she knows this is essential to any good marketing strategy. Her specialty is picking out key aspects of a business and identifying impactful stories within them. She is also a huge advocate for goalsetting and ensuring everything is aligned with a client’s business plan.
Outside of Cognique, Kim loves keeping active with walking and Pilates, and spends her time with husband Allan, their son Freddie, and their black Labrador Hugo – quite the houseful! The seaside is their happy place, and they love travelling to all sorts of exciting places – now that the world is opening up again, a family holiday to Australia beckons.
