Kurppa Hosk Communications

What Kurppa Hosk Communications does

Kurppa Hosk Communications AB is a privately held creative agency founded in 2015 and headquartered at Grev Turegatan 1 in Stockholm, Sweden, with a second office in Chicago. The firm operates as a subsidiary member of Eidra, a consultancy collective combining consulting, creativity, and engineering firms, which positions Kurppa Hosk alongside sister companies such as sustainability consultancy Mission Anew. Core delivery is organized around four service offerings: Strategy (research-driven brand positioning), Concept Development (creative concepts across films, PR, and always-on programs), Creative Production (global 360 campaigns and platform-native content including TikTok), and long-term Communication Programs delivered through embedded client teams. Underlying technology emphasis is described as digital-first creative production using automation and AI for localization and content production at scale, though proprietary technology depth is not disclosed beyond repeatable creative formats such as "Satisfying Loops" and "Creeper TV."

The agency serves large enterprise clients across consumer electronics (Samsung Nordic, partner since 2017), gaming/entertainment (Minecraft/Mojang, engagement spanning over half a decade with a 14-person embedded team), financial services (re:member), broadcasting (TV4), and industrial/manufacturing (Alleima). Documented campaign outcomes include the fastest brand ever to reach one million TikTok followers (Minecraft, from zero in March 2023), a 36% completion rate on Samsung's eight-minute Seoul Searching YouTube series, a +60% brand reach increase for TV4 since its brand refresh, and a +300% Sender ID Sweden ad recall lift for re:member. The firm has offices in Stockholm and Chicago and operates across the Nordic markets of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.

Kurppa Hosk's business model is professional services revenue from project-based and retainer engagements delivered through direct enterprise relationships, with no public pricing and no disclosed funding rounds. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with long-tenured strategic partnerships and embedded team models. Leadership and management team composition is not disclosed publicly; new business contact is routed through [email protected]. The agency is privately held under Eidra with no public ticker, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed external institutional investors.
