Mini bio
How it started.
Kim began with web design. In her Marketing Speak interview, she recalled finding customers through B2B boards and AOL business chat rooms. Facebook helped her see a new way for businesses to connect with people.
A teaching voice.
She co-founded Boom! Social and built an audience around practical social media advice. In 2013, Social Media Examiner selected Boom Social among its Top 10 Social Media Blogs.
Authenticity first.
Her 2015 book, Will the Real You Please Stand Up: Show Up, Be Authentic, and Prosper in Social Media, explores how brands can earn trust by showing who they are. Her more recent interviews carry that interest into AI, teaching business owners to keep their own voice in the content they create.
