(Strategy, communications, coaching)
KCMD’s Sustainability Strategy & Communications coaching and workshop gave us the language and understanding we needed to apply a net zero journey to our festival operations. They helped us develop a clear social and environmental sustainability strategy, along with key operating policies, to chart our roadmap toward a lower-impact future for the festival. Their industry-specific research, passion for the subject, and practical tools and takeaways inspired us and gave us the confidence to take our journey to the next level.

I’ve worked with many external agencies, and my experience with Kirstie was truly unique. She helped us to achieve incredible results within an ambitious timeline, seamlessly managing complex details and navigating diverse stakeholders. What truly sets Kirstie apart is her incredible support and intuitive understanding of what is needed, and the key steps that need to be taken to achieve success in a short period of time. I highly recommend Kirstie’s expertise, honesty, and ability to deliver.

KCMD provided us with a tailored short-, medium- and long-term strategic pathway to start reducing our emissions along with a toolkit of policies and ideas that were realistic for the size of our operations. If you’re thinking of starting your net zero journey, I highly recommend getting guidance and direction from KCMD to set you on a path that’s right for you and your team.

Working with Kirstie is an absolute pleasure. Her insight, passion, knowledge and ability to power through an immense amount in a short time are unmatched, and we would never have achieved the level of detail we did over such a short period without her support.

Kirstie and her team were able to support Dear Green in thinking of communications in a new light and approaching our strategy differently. In turn, highlighting the SES (Social and Environmental Sustainability) Standards in our business that we are extremely proud of and should be communicating better.
