Our Philosophy

AI, for Augmented Intelligence

We believe AI should truly serve humans, and amplify marketers instead of replacing them.

Outcomes,
Not Tools

We focus on real outcomes and ROI, not on creating extra tasks or additional dashboards.

Trusted
Stewardship

Prepare for a world where data is an asset. Your data stays yours with Kana governance.

Did you know? Kana has many meanings in Japanese, Hawaiian, Sanskrit and Irish Gaelic.

Kana = clarity, reach, and transformation.

It evokes “making meaning,” “extending capability,” and “turning signals into action” — a beautiful match for an AI marketing engine.

Who we serve

We help brands, consumer-tech companies, and agencies turn fragmented data and slow workflows into coordinated, revenue-driving action.

Brands & Media Companies

Mid-market and enterprise consumer brands, retailers, DTC companies, and media organisations that run complex, multi-channel programs but are bottlenecked by fragmentation, rising CAC, and stalled growth.

Enterprise Consumer-Tech Companies

High-scale apps, marketplaces, fintech, mobility, and subscription platforms generating massive behavioral datasets but struggling to convert them into coordinated, revenue-driving action.

Agencies & Marketing Services

Agencies face the same drag as their clients: manual research, slow proposals, scattered insights, and pressure on margins and speed. To support brands and media teams, they must stay aligned using shared data and precise methods.

Team

To give every marketing team the power to operate at superhuman speed, transforming fragmented data, rising costs, and operational drag into coordinated action, compounding performance, and profitable growth.

Why Kana?

Marketing has outgrown its tools. Teams are drowning in too many channels, platforms, dashboards, and manual workflows — while budgets tighten, algorithms obscure visibility, and first-party data becomes the make-or-break advantage.

Kana is built for this moment.

We combine synthetic data, unified intelligence, and agentic execution into one seamless system that learns, decides, and acts. Not another dashboard. Not another point solution. A new operating layer.

With Kana, teams:

Move faster and outpace the closest competitors.

Spend smart without increasing budgets and see real-time analytics.

Replace manual ops with continuous optimization

Build a durable advantage as AI-native marketing becomes the norm
