What KPRN network does

KPRN Network GmbH, operating as KLEBER GROUP, is a privately held Swiss consulting firm founded in 1993 that delivers integrated 360-degree marketing, communications, and public relations services to the travel, tourism, luxury, lifestyle, real estate, and sustainability sectors. The firm operates from nine offices across Europe (Zurich, Frankfurt, Munich, Madrid, Krakow, London, Vienna), Africa (Cape Town, Luanda), and the Middle East (Dubai), supplemented by a partner network of more than 20 agencies in 39 markets. Its service portfolio spans strategy consulting, PR and crisis management, digital and influencer marketing, trade marketing and representation, customer experience and loyalty programs, advertising and media planning, MICE strategy, sales support, and ESG consulting.

The firm's technology stack blends traditional PR expertise with proprietary AI-driven capabilities housed primarily within its KognAitive AI division. These include an AI Video Creation service that produces tourism-grade visual content, the S-Buyer emotional profiling tool that uses qualitative interviews and cultural analysis to map emotional and behavioral drivers, Customer Data Platforms (CDP) for audience segmentation, and predictive analytics for trend forecasting and strategy design. The group has also built out a portfolio of branded subsidiaries and initiatives: Journeyable (accessible travel), SUIND (AI-driven agricultural drones), Red Karpet Klub (luxury traveler platform), Voice4Africa and ReThinking Africa (African destination positioning), DIYYAFAH (Saudi Arabia B2B tourism hub), AKUA (water sustainability), and the recently launched KAPITAL by KLEBER GROUP (FDI advisory and investor relations for destinations).

KLEBER GROUP generates revenue through professional services fees charged on a quote-based, project-by-project basis with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise engagement, strategic PR campaigns, and participation in major tourism industry events. Customer segments are concentrated in four primary verticals — tourism boards and destinations, luxury hotels/resorts/branded residences, aviation and cruise, and lifestyle/real estate brands — with enterprise clients that include national tourism boards (Canary Islands, Croatia, Korea, Hungary, Cayman Islands, Lithuania, Guatemala, Angola), luxury hotel groups (IHG, Mangia's, Velaa Private Island), major airlines (Qatar Airways, Thai Airways, LATAM, Ethiopian, South African Airways), cruise lines (MSC, NCL), and luxury real estate developments (Wynn Al Marjan Island, Porto Montenegro, THE ELLINIKON).
