About The Crafty Cockatoo
We provide specialist business services including copywriting, project management, business strategy and human resources. Excel wrangling is well within our remit, and we particularly enjoy hypothesis testing and evidence-based decision making.
We love working with businesses and professionals to help them take advantage of opportunities in their environment, particularly where simple communication improvements can provide measurable results.
Located south of Adelaide
Modern work methods mean we can provide most of our services worldwide, but we call Port Noarlunga home.
Our knowledge of the local Adelaide, Onkaparinga and Fleurieu business environment helps us to match your goals with local opportunities.
Meet the ‘boss cocky’
Rare sighting of a business nerd in the wild. Also pictured: very spoilt dog.
Kimberley is a business nerd.
In primary school, she used to get in trouble for including too many words from the spelling list in her practice sentences. Now that search engines are hungry for keywords, it’s an appreciated skill.
Career quizzes emphatically suggest she ought to work as a writer, artist or musician. She decided perhaps an income would be nice and pursued business instead.
Kimberley trained in business, focusing on human resources as an avenue to understand how people can work together to achieve complex tasks and objectives. She has experience working with a range of organisations including start-ups, large multi-site institutions and volunteer groups.
Quietly curious, Kimberley listens more than she speaks and has a reputation for being a little bit clever. She has a talent for the written word, perhaps somewhat overshadowed by an inability to know what to do with her face when she is talking. She broadly objects to an excess of personal attention and would rather not spend any more time writing her website biography.
She hopes to one day be at least one eighth as awesome as Neil Gaiman.
Kimberley is a member of the Australian HR Institute and the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance. She lurks in The Clever Copywriting Community and occasionally moonlights as a barista for fun.
