Why owners across NZ work with Kevin

Big-brand thinking

Strategy, brand and marketing discipline from DDB, Ogilvy and Saatchi and Saatchi, including launching Woolworths' original OneCard loyalty programme.

Founder experience

Nine companies founded or co-founded, including online stores in grocery, pet, pharmacy, toy and baby, a digital media agency and a healthcare logistics business.

Small-business clarity

No jargon and no mindset theory. One constraint, three priorities, one number to watch, and a 90-day plan you can run this week.

Coaching that travels

Sessions run on Google Meet, so where you are makes no difference to the quality of the work. Every session note, workbook and 90-day plan lives in your own private Client Hub, so nothing gets lost between sessions.

Kevin also presents nationwide for The Icehouse, including Growth Presentations for BNZ clients and the Owner Manager Programme.

What we work on

  • Business strategy and a five-year vision for the business and your life
  • Marketing, brand and positioning that make you the obvious choice
  • Sales systems that convert more of the leads you already have
  • Productivity and implementation, including AI to save hours each week

What clients say

"He really got our vision from the beginning and has been a huge help in putting together a clearer plan and strategy for the next five years."

Gabby Kirk, Papier HQ

"Within an hour Kevin had us thinking about our business and our goals in a totally different way. In fact we were supposed to be catching a flight but we decided it was more important that we continued the meeting with Kevin."

Angus and Cameron, The Flatpack Co

"Keeping me sane and focused during uncertain times."

Rachel Williams, Viva Expeditions

Business coaching in NZ: questions answered

Do you coach businesses outside Auckland?

Yes. Most sessions run online on Google Meet, so owners anywhere in New Zealand get the same coaching. In-person sessions are available at The Icehouse in Parnell, Auckland.

What size of business do you work with?

Established, ambitious businesses, from 7-figure operators to companies turning over more than $100m a year. Clients are chosen by mindset rather than sector or size.

How is this different from a franchise coaching system?

The Simple-Growth System is Kevin's own, built from his agency and founder experience. It starts with a diagnosis of your real constraint rather than a fixed curriculum, and covers strategy, marketing, sales and productivity together.

Can coaching be co-funded?

Possibly. Simple-Growth offers services that are registered with the Management Capability Development Fund. Funding is decided by your Regional Business Partner Growth Advisor, is limited and is not guaranteed.

What does the first conversation involve?

A free, no-obligation 30-minute call: where the business is now, where you want it to be, and whether Kevin is the right person to help you get there.
