The tail end of the 80s, and the beginning of arguably the greatest decade to be a child, had enough cool gadgets to inspire creativity but not enough tech to numb the senses. It was into this incubator of awesomeness that Kody Thompson was born in Bendigo, Victoria. Raised in a small country town by a CEO dad and school teacher mum, Kody was drawn to helping others, and exhibited a passion and flair for creativity at a young age. These traits would later become his trademark winning business combination.

By the time Kody had reached the end of his schooling he had interned at Clemenger, the largest advertising agency in Australasia at the time, and been offered a scholarship to their private design academy. Everything seemed set for Kody to head into this world of art and design. However, during his high school years Kody endured the loss of several close friends to suicide, prompting a change of direction. Fueled by his love of helping people and desire to bring hope to a young generation, Kody began volunteering in local projects to help youth who had lost meaning and purpose in their lives.

Turning down his fancy scholarship and instead paying his own way through a Graphic Design degree and youth work diploma in his hometown, Kody focused on running youth initiatives and leadership programs within schools, as well as presenting nationally and internationally as a motivational speaker. After working full time as a pastor for three years, Kody and his wife Sarah set out on a new adventure. With no cash in the bank and only a volunteer role lined up at a church on the Gold Coast, Kody again returned to his love of creativity to support his family. He started a freelance Graphic Design agency, never imagining how quickly this would turn into a love affair with entrepreneurship and helping people through business.

From his first business which began with a $250 investment into some business cards, to now having made over $1million in profit since 2013, and with a staff of over 22 offshore employees, Kody has kept his focus on taking care of his clients and staff, and still sets his sights on making the world a better place. He is passionate about charity fundraising, with plans to build homes for children in South East Asia in future years.

Kody, his wife Sarah and their daughter Scarlet live in Gold Coast, Australia, where they enjoy a wonderful life together.
