My Story

Kim Derrick Rozdeba is a master of reinvention, seamlessly bridging the worlds of strategic branding and captivating storytelling. With over thirty years of experience, Kim is a proven expert in building iconic Fortune 500 brands across various industries, including agriculture, pharmaceuticals, petroleum, telecommunications, and automotive. His work has empowered global corporations in strategic planning, advertising, public relations, and corporate communications, all while fueling his passion for storytelling.

Kim’s late-start literary journey began in his early sixties, offering an inspiring example of how creativity and ambition have no expiration date. His life has been a tapestry of adventure—from traveling Europe on ten dollars a day as a teen and carrying the Olympic torch to mentoring young professionals, exploring culinary arts and fine wines, and embracing athletic challenges as a snowboarder and Mousquetaire. Each experience enriches his writing, infusing his books with authenticity and depth.

His branding trilogy—Branding Queens, LOYALNOMICS, and now Human Truths—reflects the same career: rigorous in its thinking,grounded in real-world practice, and relentlessly focused on what people actually respond to.

Branding Queens uncovered the brand-building secrets of twenty women who built global dynasties against the odds.

LOYALNOMICS became the practitioner's playbook for mastering loyalty.

Human Truths is the culmination—an argument that the most powerful brands are built not on features or benefits, but on a precise understanding of how people think.

Not content to stay in one lane, he also published Balance of Evil, the first novel in the award-winning Scott Barton political thriller series. A sequel, LIES, arrives in late 2026.

He lives in Calgary, Alberta, with his wife and writes at the intersection of branding and storytelling. Two disciplines that, in his hands, turn out to be the same thing.
