Hi Neighbours!

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Marina Kere and I own KDM Digital. I have previously worked in marketing roles at local companies and online promoting products through my personal platforms for the past 4 years. Also, I am currently in my last year of my Bachelor of Commerce Majoring in Marketing and Front-End Web Design studies at NMIT.

KDM Digital is a company in Nelson Tasman NZ that raises awareness for businesses online through digital channels such as social media management and website design.

I have noticed that many businesses are still not using websites and social media pages to promote their business effectively where there is potential for these companies to reach a wider audience to further grow their businesses, create brand awareness and increase sales.

88 percent of consumer pre-research their buys online before making a purchase either online or in-store. This highlights the importance of having an online presence through social media and websites.

Each class is 3 hours long and consists of a nutrition talk (meal planning, reading and understanding food labels, stretching your budget, etc) Followed by a demonstration by your tutor and then you will cook the same recipe. We sit down to eat together and after cleaning up, depart for home.


This is also an opportunity to get to know more people and after the classes we may meet up in a local cafe. Please see details in the flyer.


Please note these classes are aimed at people who lack motivation to cook for themselves and need more confidence and skills in the kitchen. Sorry, it is NOT for people looking for more ideas for their cooking repetoire. The course includes fairly basic recipes from a 50 page recipe booklet that you will take home.
