Celebrating 10 Years of Community and Creativity: 10 years of The Taupō Winter Festival

Written By Kim Manunui

The 10th annual Malcolm Flowers Insurances Taupō Winter Festival has once again been hailed a huge success - delivering a vibrant programme enjoyed by thousands and raising valuable funds that are now flowing back into the community.

Kim has supported the festival since it first launched in 2015, in all sorts of ways. While Korio didn’t exist back then, when the opportunity came up to partner with the event, Kim and the team jumped at the chance to get more involved.

Why? Because it’s not just a brilliant event for locals and visitors alike - it’s also a platform for giving back. Since its inception, the festival has helped the One Taupō Trust distribute over $44,000 to local families experiencing financial hardship due to illness.

Reflecting on the 10-year milestone, Kim shared:
“There are three things worth celebrating - the anniversary itself, the funds raised for One Taupō Trust, and the fact that it offered something for everyone. Sure, it brings in out-of-town visitors, which is great - but it’s the Taupō community that really gets the most joy from it.”

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
