About Kim Walker:
Her approach with customers is very one-on-one and personal, which enables Kim to truly get to know her clients before getting knee deep into their marketing strategies. In this fashion, she becomes immersed and better able to deploy a hands-on approach to social media management. She understands the demographics and meticulous details of what her customers want to accomplish, while remaining up-to-date on the latest trends in social media. For Kim, social media is merely an extension of her naturally outgoing personality, rather than a job.
The family style relationships she fosters with clients come from having a strong family-oriented mindset. Growing up close by in Hammond, LA, Kim attended public schools and still remains an advocate for positive changes. She attended Southeastern Louisiana University and received a Bachelors and Master’s Degree in Education, whereupon she became a teacher and school counselor. After husband Brian Walker opened the auto repair shop, she joined him as the marketing director and naturally progressed into her current role after 5 Stones Media was launched. People throughout the communities of Hammond, Mandeville, Covington, Ponchatoula, Slidell and Amite know Kim and she would love to know and help you with all aspects of marketing your business, too.
This event is $10 and includes lunch, networking and education!
