July/August Recap

Written By Kim Manunui

My biggest learning since the Olympics


Its about the journey, not the destination. I initially struggled to find satisfaction in winning the silver medal because I wanted the gold so badly for myself and my team. But after reflecting on the past three years, I’ve come to realise that it was never really about the medal itself. It was the pursuit of that goal, the journey, the effort, the challenges, that truly mattered. The process of chasing the medal is what makes the experience so meaningful.

What I’ve been up to…


July marked the final month of our build up to the Olympic Games. I had an excellent training camp on the road around Basel with a couple of my teammates, enjoying the freedom of training without staff. This break was mentally refreshing and set me up to feel ready and excited when we met up with the rest of the team in Grenchen for our final track camp. We had some tough training sessions and some vulnerable conversations, which brought us closer as a team and boosted our confidence heading into the Olympics. At the games, we were thrilled with the times we produced and incredibly proud to win silver, making history for New Zealand's women's team pursuit. After the Olympics, I took a well deserved two week holiday in Portugal and Spain with my partner. Now back in New Zealand, I’m preparing for the Track Cycling World Championships in Denmark, where I’m targeting the individual pursuit!

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.
