I'm Kim, Kim Kemp, shaken, and rather stirred...
Ah, passion...
My absolute passion is communication generally, and language particularly. In fact, it’s an occupational hazard... If the truth be told, I would rather delete a message than send one with a typo — and don't even get me started on 'Bingo' language where numbers are used for words... eg CUL8R... yeah you work that one out.
I say that a lazy use of language is the downfall of civilization!
Anything that needs to be recorded in writing for time immemorial is well within my skillset — barring taking minutes of a meeting — we all have limits.
I have interviewed some of industry's captains across a smorgasbord of industries and continents, recounting their input in an assortment of respected publications, both local and international.
I write speeches, compile feature articles on just about any subject, create persuasive marketing material, social media posts and scripts, advertising copy or tongue-in-cheek social media blogs — if that’s your thing — and have been known to put a not too shabby PowerPoint presentation together, as I’m also a creative, but that’s another story…
I adapt the writing style to suit the tone, as I read people rather well. But a good brief also helps.
So, when it comes to writing, I am your man (erm, woman, person, being).
Oh, and on a good day I can compile a killer grocery list...
Trust me, I'm a writer...
“I had the pleasure of being associated with Kim during her time as Editor of ITP’s, Construction Week Qatar. Kim is a seasoned professional and represents her clients and topics with fervor and a passionate commitment.
I particularly admire her ability to translate the most complex and technical subjects into meaningful, interesting reads. Her spirited and vibrant character and strong witty personality are also exceptional qualities.”
“Kim is a lateral thinker, creative, committed and reliable, who "Just got things done".
Kim is able to work as a team Member, or uniquely, on her own if required.
She has the ability to effect positive change in a business within the guidelines of a businesses' goals, strategies and core values.”
“Kim is not only a fantastic writer and editor - what really impresses me about her is her outgoing nature, and her ability to build lasting relationships with people in under an hour.
Kim has interviewed a number of my clients - from forklift companies, polyurethane companies and mining IT companies, and she finds a way to understand each of their businesses, and write an interesting and readable article from the interview.
My clients are always excited to be interviewed by Kim, and even more excited to see the published article.”
“You will never meet a more passionate and knowledgeable editor than Kim. The construction industry in Qatar is a very difficult sector to immerse yourself in and Kim was able to integrate herself seamlessly.
She really made my job as sales manager so easy with her contacts and knowledge of the industry and her vast experience.”
“Kim managed multiple assignments and tight schedules comfortably. She provided insightful advice and recommendations for improving the quality of the materials she was desktop publishing for MiET.
She was particularly skilled at finding cost-effective solutions to unforeseen challenges in DTP projects she was working. I found Kim to be proactive and extremely professional and I found her interpersonal skills highly effective.”
