May Recap

Written By Kim Manunui

I arrived in America on the 1st of May and have since settled in really well with my host family in a small town called Lambertville. I was given all my team kit which felt like Christmas, and I’ve been getting on super well with my teammates.

I was really nervous for my first race, the Simon’s Heart Conshy Classic, but I completely surprised myself by taking the win! In my second race, I placed second after a tough battle in a breakaway against two riders from the same team.

In the next four races, my role shifted from getting into breakaways to setting up my teammate for the final sprint by initiating the lead-out. That change came down to the nature of the courses and number of riders where breakaways weren’t sticking. My teammate Odette and I have been working really well together, and we’ve managed to land a few podiums through our teamwork.

On my days off, I’ve had the chance to do a bit of sightseeing. I spent a day exploring New York City (which was super entertaining) and even went to my first minor league baseball game!

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.
