Kim Arnold is an international branding, marketing and communication consultant who helps individuals and businesses stand out, get heard and connect with clients in a noisy world.
She spent two decades challenging banks, tech firms, legal services and other complex businesses to ditch dried-up corporate jargon and bland branding to become irresistible to their clients.
She’s a firm believer there’s room for every individual and business to stand out, however crowded the market. You just need to know how.
She cut her teeth working for financial heavyweights, including Deutsche Bank and Thomson Reuters businesses, where she led large global communications teams across Europe, Asia and the Americas in 10 different countries. She even worked alongside former US Vice-President, Al Gore.
Kim now teaches growth businesses and entrepreneurs all over the world how to build imaginative brands that attract, inspire and sell as well as ‘brains and brawn’ marketing strategies that knock their competition out of the ring.
As a communication expert, she shows leading organisations how to talk and write and act in a way that inspires action in clients (instead of inducing a coma).
She speaks regularly on branding, marketing and communication and has been featured in a variety of media including Professional Marketing Magazine, HR Zone and Coaching Perspectives.
She is a Panel Tutor at The University of Cambridge Institute Of Continuing Education, where she teaches branding.
