Make your brand feel like somewhere people want to be.

I’m Kim, founder of Kim Ivy Media. Based in the North East, I’ve spent years immersed in the region’s ever-evolving hospitality scene.

​

My journey started in hands-on roles across bars, restaurants and hospitality venues before moving into business development and sales, eventually transitioning into marketing and social media strategy. Bringing that operational experience with me means I understand far more than just what looks good online - I understand how hospitality businesses actually work.

​

What sets me apart is that I don’t just understand your venue; I understand your customer. I’ve served them, spoken to them, sold to them and built relationships with them firsthand. That insight shapes the way I create content - helping hospitality and experience-led brands build social media that feels authentic, aspirational and commercially effective.
