Kimberly Davis's Biography

Kimberly Davis is a highly accomplished marketing entrepreneur, author, and “one of the greatest female speakers in the UK” (Rene Carayol – BBC Presenter; CEO, Inspired Leaders Network; & one of the UK’s most influential business leaders)

Originally from New York, Kimberly moved to the UK in 2004 and set up Sarsaparilla Marketing. Here she pioneered the philosophy of "Marketing Purification" ™ – the process of helping companies make more money with less by detoxing their marketing programme and protecting them from marketing cowboys known as The Flash, Fluff and Fakers ™.

Strong opinions and a determination to restore credibility to an unregulated dodgy industry have earned Kimberly the reputation as “The Anti-Marketing Marketer”. Her no-nonsense New Yorker approach has helped thousands of businesses succeed and left countless marketers shaking for fear of being exposed.

Kimberly is currently working on several projects that will allow her to share her methods worldwide. She has just released The Marketing Magnetism System ™ – a 10-step programme to help small and medium businesses attract more clients, money, and time.

She will also publish her first marketing book this year with Harriman House, joining their elite list of authors, which includes Doug Richards and Richard Farleigh from The Dragon’s Den.

In addition to owning Sarsaparilla, Kimberly has become one of the leading female speakers on the UK corporate speaking circuit. She has shared stages with the world’s most successful entrepreneurs including Sir Richard Branson, Lord Sugar, and more at venues such as the O2 Arena.

Kimberly is also known from The Apprentice Series 5, where she quickly gained the reputation as "the nicest candidate ever" (The Guardian) and was highly praised by Robert Senior (CEO, Saatchi and Saatch), Nikki Crumpton (CSO, McCann Erickson) and Mary Portas (CEO, Yellow Door and marketing legend).

Her entrepreneurial spirit blossomed early. By 14, Kimberly was interviewing celebrities such as Andre Agassi for her local newspaper. While obtaining three university degrees, she worked as the Marketing Manager & On-Air presenter at WVIP radio and television station alongside television innovator, Martin Stone (creator of The Howdy Doody Show).

At 22, Kimberly's exceptional writing and communication skills led her to become the youngest instructor at a leading university in New York City. She taught "Writing For Mass Media" and was highly praised for her unique style of instruction and high level of achievement with the students.

During her 20+ year professional career, she has worked on several high profile projects including The VH-1 Vogue Fashion Awards, Garth Brooks: Live in Central Park, The Hangar at The O2 Arena, and many more. She pioneered The Manhattanville Music Business Conference, was the Marketing Director for several of the largest New York City radio stations, and wrote for music magazine, The Inside Connection, for more than 10 years.
