The kyu collective consists of carefully curated companies that represent progress in their fields of expertise. Our goal is to limit the number of member companies to a handful to help foster collaboration within the group.
kyu is a partner of C2 International, a private company mandated by non-profit C2 Montreal to develop executive learning and team building concepts around the world. C2 is a global convener on a mission to transform executives and organizations that are ripe for change – whether they know it or not. In a collaborative context specifically designed to provoke collisions and spark new ideas, C2 gets executives to challenge their biases, shift their perspective and explore completely new ways of doing business. C2’s reinvention of the business conference experience started with the annual C2 Montreal event, which has been described as “challenging conventions” by The Economist, and “a business conference unlike any other” by the Harvard Business Review. After Zurich, Milan, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Rome and San Francisco, C2 is now expanding its reach across all continents. www.c2.biz
Digital Kitchen is forged through a unique and unmatched approach to the combination of entertainment and communications. DK is one of the very few creative and digital agencies that helps clients stop interrupting what people are interested in, and start becoming what they’re interested in. For the right product or brand, DK’s work transforms business outcomes. Woven into very the fabric of the brand experience, DK transformed AT&T into an entertainment leader; redefined the meaning of TV franchises with transformational main titles and marketing; and created the world’s first digitally-immersed casino-resort experience. A group of “thinker/makers”, DK is one of the few agencies that is vertically integrated, from insight through production — producing everything they conceive. www.thisisdk.com
